Gilles Deleuze

Underneath all reason lies delirium and drift.

Gilles Deleuze

Gilles Deleuze

To become imperceptible oneself, to have dismantled love in order to become capable of loving. To have dismantled one's self in order finally to be alone and meet the true double at the other end of the line. A clandestine passenger on a motionless voyage. To become like everybody else; but this, precisely, is a becoming only for one who knows how to be nobody, to no longer be anybody. To paint oneself gray on gray.

Gilles Deleuze

Christianity taught us to see the eye of the lord looking down upon us. Such forms of knowledge project an image of reality, at the expense of reality itself. They talk figures and icons and signs, but fail to perceive forces and flows. They bind us to other realities, and especially the reality of power as it subjugates us. Their function is to tame, and the result is the fabrication of docile and obedient subjects.

Gilles Deleuze

Why do men fight for their servitude as stubbornly as though it were their salvation?

Gilles Deleuze

What do you know about me, given that I believe in secrecy? ... If I stick where I am, if I don't travel around, like anyone else I make my inner journeys that I can only measure by my emotions, and express very obliquely and circuitously in what I write. ... Arguments from one's own privileged experience are bad and reactionary arguments.

Gilles Deleuze

Let us create extraordinary words, on condition that they be put to the most ordinary use and that the entity they designate be made to exist in the same way as the most common object.

Gilles Deleuze

A tyrant institutionalises stupidity, but he is the first servant of his own system and the first to be installed within it.

Gilles Deleuze

Philosophy, art, and science are not the mental objects of an objectified brain but the three aspects under which the brain becomes subject.

Gilles Deleuze

Every time someone puts an objection to me, I want to say: 'OK, OK, let's go on to something else.' Objections have never contributed anything.

Gilles Deleuze

To affirm is not to bear, carry, or harness oneself to that which exists, but on the contrary to unburden, unharness, and set free that which lives.

Gilles Deleuze

Photography, if there is photography, is already snapped, already shot, in the very interior of things and for all points of space.

Gilles Deleuze

Evaluations, in essence, are... ways of being, modes of existence of those who judge and evaluate.

Gilles Deleuze

The self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities

Gilles Deleuze

External images act on me, transmit movement to me, and I return movement: how could images be in my consciousness since I am myself image, that is, movement?

Gilles Deleuze

Is it not first through the voice that one becomes animal?

Gilles Deleuze

Thereโ€™s no democratic state thatโ€™s not compromised to the very core by its part in generating human misery.

Gilles Deleuze

There's no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.

Gilles Deleuze

A creator is someone who creates their own impossibilities, and thereby creates possibilities.

Gilles Deleuze

The various forms of education or โ€˜normalizationโ€™ imposed upon an individual consist in making him or her change points of subjectification, always moving towards a higher, nobler one in closer conformity with the supposed ideal. Then from the point of subjectification issues a subject of enunciation, as a function of a mental reality determined by that point. Then from the subject of enunciation issues a subject of the statement, in other words, a subject bound to statements in conformity with a dominant reality

Gilles Deleuze

According to Beckett's or Kafka's law, there is immobility beyond movement: beyond standing up, there is sitting down, and beyond sitting down, lying down, beyond which one finally dissipates.

Gilles Deleuze

D.H. Lawrence had the impression โ€“ that psychoanalysis was shutting sexuality up in a bizarre sort of box painted with bourgeois motifs, in a kind of rather repugnant artificial triangle, thereby stifling the whole of sexuality as a production of desire so as to recast it along entirely different lines, making of it a โ€˜dirty little secretโ€™, a dirty little family secret, a private theater rather than the fantastic factory of nature and production

Gilles Deleuze

Forming grammatically correct sentences is for the normal individual the prerequisite for any submission to social laws. No one is supposed to be ignorant of grammaticality; those who are belong in special institutions. The unity of language is fundamentally political.

Gilles Deleuze

What interests us in operations of striation and smoothing are precisely the passages or combinations: how the forces at work within space continually striate it, and how in the course of its striation it develops other forces and emits new smooth spaces.

Gilles Deleuze

Intuition is neither a feeling, an inspiration nor a disorderly sympathy but a fully developed method.

Gilles Deleuze

I believe strongly that philosophy has nothing to do with specialists.

Gilles Deleuze

The philosopher creates, he doesn't reflect.

Gilles Deleuze

When Nietzsche praises egoism it is always in an aggressive or polemical way, against the virtues, against the virtue of disinterestedness (Z III "Of the three evil things"). But in fact egoism is a bad interpretation of the will, just as atomism is a bad interpretation of force. In order for there to be egoism it is necessary for there to be an ego.

Gilles Deleuze

Art is not communicative, art is not reflexive. Art, science, philosophy are neither contemplative, neither reflexive, nor communicative. They are creative, that's all.

Gilles Deleuze

Psychoanalysis was from the start, still is, and perhaps always will be a well-constituted church and a form of treatment based on a set of beliefs that only the very faithful could adhere to, i.e., those who believe in a security that amounts to being lost in the herd and defined in terms of common and external goals

Gilles Deleuze

A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.

Gilles Deleuze

The instinct of revenge is the force which constitutes the essence of what we call psychology, history, metaphysics and morality. The spirit of revenge is the genealogical element of our thought, the transcendental principle of our way of thinking.

Gilles Deleuze

Psychoanalysts are bent on producing man abstractly, that is to say ideologically, for culture. It is Oedipus who produces man in this fashion and who gives a structure to the false movement of infinite progression and regression

Gilles Deleuze

The shadow escapes from the body like an animal we had been sheltering.

Gilles Deleuze

Instead of gambling on the eternal impossibility of the revolution and on the fascist return of a war-machine in general, why not think that a new type of revolution is in the course of becoming possible, and that all kinds of mutating, living machines conduct wars, are combined and trace out a plane of consistance which undermines the plane of organization of the World and the States?

Gilles Deleuze

My eye, my brain, are images, parts of my body. How could my brain contain images since it is one image among others?

Gilles Deleuze

Courage consists, however, in agreeing to flee rather than live tranquilly and hypocritically in false refuges. Values, morals, homelands, religions, and these private certitudes that our vanity and our complacency bestow generously on us, have many deceptive sojourns as the world arranges for those who think they are standing straight and at ease, among stable things

Gilles Deleuze

Things never pass where you think, nor along the paths you think

Gilles Deleuze

A leftist government doesn't exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.

Gilles Deleuze

Write, form a rhizome, increase your territory by deterritorialization, extend the line of flight to the point where it becomes an abstract machine covering the entire plane of consistency.

Gilles Deleuze

The technocrat is the natural friend of the dictatorโ€”computers and dictatorship; but the revolutionary lives in the gap which separates technical progress from social totality, and inscribed there his dream of permanent revolution. This dream, therefore, is itself action, reality, and an effective menace to all established order; it renders possible what it dreams about.

Gilles Deleuze

You never walk alone. Even the devil is the lord of flies.

Gilles Deleuze

Language is not made to be believed but to be obeyed, and to compel obedience newspapers, news, proceed by redundancy, in that they tell us what we โ€˜mustโ€™ think, retain, expect, etc. language is neither informational nor communicational. It is not the communication of information but something quite different: the transmission of order-words, either from one statement to another or within each statement, insofar as each statement accomplishes an act and the act is accomplished in the statement

Gilles Deleuze

Bring something incomprehensible into the world!

Gilles Deleuze

In truth, Freud sees nothing and understands nothing.

Gilles Deleuze

Philosophy is not in a state of external reflection on other domains, but in a state of active and internal alliance with them, and it is neither more abstract nor more difficult.
