““No, Donna, non devi ringraziarmi. Sono io che dovrei ringraziarti amica mia! Tu per me sei stata una vera sorpresa e non lo dico solo per come ci siamo conosciuti. Tu sai bene che io mi ero chiuso in me stesso, non avevo quasi più rapporti con la gente al di fuori del lavoro e ancor meno con le donne. Mi rifiutavo persino di incrociare lo sguardo di una donna! Tratto da: Donna Il tocco della verità.”

“Deleuze and Guattari have been totally misunderstood because the following has been wrenched from context: "Forming grammatically correct sentences is for the normal individual the prerequisite for any submission to social laws. No one is supposed to be ignorant of grammaticality; those who are belong in special institutions. The unity of language is fundamentally political." (112) They are NOT advocating for this sort of prescriptive approach to language; rather, they are describing the social system around language--how language is a political tool. Why persist in quoting them as though they are promoting some sort of linguistic purity?”
