Gilles Deleuze

1925 — 1995

French philosopher, one of the leading representatives of poststructuralism and philosophy of difference.

"Philosophy is the art of creating concepts."

"Difference does not simply exist; it is the foundation of all reality."

"To think is to create, not to repeat."

"Reality is not what we see, but what we create."

"The greatest danger is the tendency toward simplification."

"All things are potential events."

"Truth does not exist independently of what we can understand."

"Everything we know about the world is the result of our efforts to create concepts."

"He who is incapable of change is incapable of real life."

"Freedom is the ability to change the world through new concepts."
