Gilles Deleuze

A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.

— Gilles Deleuze

One of the principal motifs of Nietzsche’s work is that Kant had not carried out a true critique because he was not able to pose the problem of critique in terms of values.

— Gilles Deleuze

Evaluations, in essence, are… ways of being, modes of existence of those who judge and evaluate.

— Gilles Deleuze

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

When Nietzsche praises egoism it is always in an aggressive or polemical way, against the virtues, against the virtue of disinterestedness (Z III “Of the three evil things”). But in fact egoism is a bad interpretation of the will, just as atomism is a bad interpretation of force. In order for there to be egoism it is necessary for there to be an ego.

— Gilles Deleuze

Bring something incomprehensible into the world!

— Gilles Deleuze
