Deleuze, Gilles

"We will always have enough time if we do not lose it."

"A book is worth little if it cannot be read easily."

"The role of the intellectual is not to tell others what they have to do, but to inquire alongside them."

"Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave."

"One never creates alone; you create with the world and its trajectories."

"The eye is not made to see, but to look."

"Every creative act involves creation of a new universe."

"We are all becomings, endlessly creating ourselves."

"Thought is the most poetic thing we can do."

"The state is not an emanation of society, but society emanates from the state."

"Terror is not the weapon of the future; it is what is most archaic."

"Life is about becoming, not being."

"Art is about lines of flight, movements of deterritorialization."

"The brain is the screen of the mind."

"Capitalism is the world religion."

"We are all schizophrenic, but some of us express it better than others."

"The whole of history is a history of deterritorialization."
