Gilles Deleuze

Art is not communicative, art is not reflexive. Art, science, philosophy are neither contemplative, neither reflexive, nor communicative. They are creative, that’s all.

Beyond Lying Movement Oneself
What interests us in operations of striation and smoothing are precisely the passages or combinations: how the forces at work within space continually striate it, and how in the course of its striation it develops other forces and emits new smooth spaces.

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

GILLES DELEUZE

Fear Hope Need Weapon

GILLES DELEUZE

Change Direction Easy Right See Sight Yourself
A leftist government doesn’t exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.
