Why do men fight for their servitude as stubbornly as though it were their salvation?
Gilles DeleuzeTo 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 DeleuzeExternal 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 DeleuzeIntuition is neither a feeling, an inspiration nor a disorderly sympathy but a fully developed method.
Gilles DeleuzeThe problem is no longer getting people to express themselves, but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say. Repressive forces donโt stop people from expressing themselves, but rather, force them to express themselves. What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing the rare, or ever rarer, the thing that might be worth saying.
