Quotes from Gilles Deleuze

desiring-production is one and the same thing as social production

Those whom Nietzsche calls masters are certainly powerful men, but not men of power, since power is in the gift of the values of the day.

Uno no toma prestado el código del vecino.

If you're trapped in the dream of the Other, you're fucked. ? Gilles Deleuze

Lo que más falta nos hace es creer en el mundo, así como suscitar acontecimientos, aunque sean mínimos, que escapen al control, hacer nacer nuevos espaciotiempos, aunque su superficie o su volumen sean reducidos [ ]. La capacidad de resistencia o, al contrario, la sumisión a un control, se deciden en el curso de cada tentativa.

The history of philosophy isn't a particularly reflective discipline. It's rather like portraiture in painting. Producing mental, conceptual portraits. As in painting, you have to create a likeness, but in a different material: the likeness is something you have to produce, rather than a way of reproducing anything (which comes down to just repeating what a philosopher says).

Flying anuses, speeding vaginas, there is no castration.

Perhaps the highest object of art is to bring into play simultaneously all these repetitions, with their differences in kind and rhythm, their respective displacements and disguises, their divergences and decentrings; to embed them in one another and to envelop one or the other in illusions the 'effect' of which varies in each case.

Spinoza is, for me, the 'prince' of philosophers.

Becoming is certainly not imitating, or identifying with something; neither is it regressing-progressing; neither is it corresponding, establishing corresponding relations; neither is it producing, producing a filiation or producing through filiation. Becoming is a verb with a consistency all its own; it does not reduce to, or lead back to, 'appearing:' 'being:' 'equaling:' or 'producing.

Il buon senso è che in ogni cosa vi è un senso determinabile; il paradosso è due sensi nello stesso tempo

We do not feel ourselves outside of our time but continue to undergo shameful compromises with it. This feeling of shame is one of philosophy's more powerful motifs. We are not responsible for the victims but responsible before them.

Orice gândire este deja un trib, opusul unui stat.

The child is a metaphysical being.

For perhaps the flows are not yet deterritorialized enough, from the viewpoint of a theory and a practice of a highly schizophrenic character. Not to withdraw from the process, but to go further, to accelerate the process, as Nietzsche put it: in this matter, the truth is that we haven't seen anything yet.

La honte d'être un homme, y a-t-il une meilleure raison d'écrire ?

Cogito para un yo disuelto.

the canvas is never empty

Como si [...] algo nos invitara a no concebir más la diferencia analógico/digital como una oposición. De cierta manera, es posible y deseable injertar código sobre lo analógico para aumentar su potencia.

Morir es siempre problemático, es triste. Siempre es triste. Pero hay maneras de morir contento. Y ante todo, sin hacerle pagar a los otros. Las personas que mueren haciéndole pagar a los otros son terribles.

La tâche de la vie est de faire coexister toutes les répétitions dans un espace où se distribue la différence.

There is no need to ask which is the toughest or most tolerable regime, for it's within each of them that liberating and enslaving forces confront each other. (…) There is no need for fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.

Becoming is an antimemory.

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.
