Quotes from Félix Guattari

Say stupid shit. Barf out the fucking-around-o-maniacal schizo flow. Barter whatever for whoever wants to read it.
~ Félix Guattari
Writing for nobody? Impossible. You fumble, you stop. I don't even take the trouble of expressing myself so that when I reread myself I can understand whatever it was I was trying to say. Gilles will figure it out, he'll work it through.
~ Félix Guattari
There are two ways of rejecting the revolution. The first is to refuse to see it where it exists; the second is to see it where it manifestly will not occur.
~ Félix Guattari
We are not in the world, we become with the world; we become by contemplating it. Everything is vision, becoming. We become universes.
~ Félix Guattari

~ Félix Guattari
But why do they have to continuously return to this irrational, religious, etc., stuff? Why? In a given state of subjectivity, there is no other way [ ... ]. If in order to exist we absolutely have to have recourse to this kind of thing, it isn't surprising that people rush headlong into it, even if they know that rationally it doesn't hold water. There's no getting rid of molar strata. Schizoanalysis cannot replace organizations.
~ Félix Guattari
Subjectivity needs movement, directional vectors, ritournelles, rhythms and refrains that beat time to carry it along.
~ Félix Guattari
La máquina habla a la máquina antes de hablar al hombre.
~ Félix Guattari
