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

Consistency Plane Reality
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.

Consistency Machine Point Territory Writing
Philosophy is not in a state of external reflection on other domains, but in a state of active and internal alliance with them, and it is neither more abstract nor more difficult.
GILLES DELEUZE

GILLES DELEUZE

Abstract Man Movement Production Progression
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.
GILLES DELEUZE

The percept is the landscape before man, in the absence of man.

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.

Forming grammatically correct sentences is for the normal individual the prerequisite for any submission to social laws. No one is supposed to be ignorant of grammaticality; those who are belong in special institutions. The unity of language is fundamentally political.
GILLES DELEUZE

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.
