A Reaction
It sounds as if philosophy should consist of nothing but aphorisms.
| 21845 | Philosophy aims to become the official language, supporting orthodoxy and the state [Deleuze] |
| 21839 | When I meet objections I just move on; they never contribute anything [Deleuze] |
| 21841 | We must create new words, and treat them as normal, and as if designating real things. [Deleuze] |
| 21842 | Don't assess ideas for truth or justice; look for another idea, and establish a relationship with it [Deleuze] |
| 21838 | Before we seek solutions, it is important to invent problems [Deleuze] |
| 21847 | Before Being there is politics [Deleuze] |
| 21840 | A meeting of man and animal can be deterritorialization (like a wasp with an orchid) [Deleuze] |
| 21843 | People consist of many undetermined lines, some rigid, some supple, some 'lines of flight' [Deleuze] |
| 21844 | The history of philosophy is an agent of power: how can you think if you haven't read the great names? [Deleuze] |
| 21849 | Thought should be thrown like a stone from a war-machine [Deleuze] |
| 21848 | Some lines (of flight) are becomings which escape the system [Deleuze] |
| 21850 | Dualisms can be undone from within, by tracing connections, and drawing them to a new path [Deleuze] |
