Gilles Deleuze
“True freedom lies in a power to decide, to constitute the problems themselves. And this ‘semi-divine’ power entails the disappearance of false problems, as much as the creative upsurge of true new ones."

Gilles Deleuze, Bergsonism, trans. by Hugh Tomlinson and Barbara Habberjam (New York, NY: Zone Books, 1991), p. 15.”
Gilles Deleuze

Edgar Allan Poe
“Between ingenuity and the analytic ability there exists a difference far greater, indeed, than that between the fancy and the imagination, but of a character very strictly analogous. It will be found, in fact, that the ingenious are always fanciful, and the truly imaginative never otherwise than analytic.”
Edgar Allan Poe, The Murders in the Rue Morgue
