“Similarly, not all Life is confined to the organic strata: rather, the organism is that which life sets against itself in order to limit itself, and there is a life all the more intense, all the more powerful for being anorganic. There are also nonhuman Becomings of human beings that overspill the anthropomorphic strata in all directions.”
― Gilles Deleuze

“The intellect cannot criticize itself, simply because it cannot be compared with other species of intellect and because its capacity to know would be revealed only in the presence of "true reality," i.e., because in order to criticize the intellect we should have to be a higher being with "absolute knowledge." This presupposes that, distinct from every perspective kind of outlook or sensual-spiritual appropriation, something exists, an "in itself."- But the psychological derivation of the belief in things forbids us to speak of ''things-in-themselves.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power

“To every perspective or point of view there must correspond an autonomous work with its own self-sufficient sense: what matters is the divergence of series, the decentering of circles, 'monstrosity'. The totality of circles and series is thus a formless ungrounded chaos which has no law other than its own repetition, its own reproduction in the development of that which diverges and decenters.”
― Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition

“When Dasein directs itself towards something and grasps it, it does not
somehow first get out of an inner sphere in which it has been proximally
encapsulated, but its primary kind of Being is such that it is always
'outside' alongside entities which it encounters and which belong to a
world already discovered. Nor is any inner sphere abandoned when
Dasein dwells alongside the entity to be known, and determines its character;
but even in this 'Being-outside' alongside the object, Dasein is still
'inside', if we understand this in the correct sense; that is to say, it is itself
'inside' as a Being-in-the-world which knows. And furthermore, the
perceiving of what is known is not a process of returning with one's booty
to the 'cabinet' of consciousness after one has gone out and grasped it;
even in perceiving, retaining, and preserving, the Dasein which knows
remains outside, and it does so as Dasein.”
― Martin Heidegger
