The morality of customs,the spirit of the laws, produces the man emancipated from the law.
Gilles DeleuzeA concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.
Gilles DeleuzeD.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 โdirty little secretโ, a dirty little family secret, a private theater rather than the fantastic factory of nature and production
Gilles DeleuzeIt is not the slumber of reason that engenders monsters, but vigilant and insomniac rationality
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.
