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

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

Nietzsche’s break with Schopenhauer rests on precisely this point; it is a matter of knowing whether the will is unitary or multiple.

belief is necessarily something false that diverts and suffocates effective production.

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

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

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

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.

It is always from the depths of its impotence that each power center draws its power, hence their extreme maliciousness, and vanity.

The plane of consistency is the abolition of all metaphor; all that consists is Real.

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

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.

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.

It’s not easy to see things from the middle, rather than looking down on them from above or up at them from below, or from left to right or right to left: try it, you’ll see that everything changes.

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

Images exist; things themselves are images… Images constantly act on and react to one another, produce and consume. There is no difference between images, things and movement.

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

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

A man with a good wife is the luckiest of God’s creatures.

You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.

I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.

What was God doing before the divine creation? Was he preparing hell for people who asked such questions?

You were created on purpose for a purpose. There is a thirst and hunger in your heart that is real. Pay attention to it.

Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you.

It is reasonable to ask who or what created the universe, but if the answer is God, then the question has merely been deflected to that of who created God.
