Quote by Fernand Deligny

“Art is found everywhere in nature, and what is surprising is that man still respects something that is no more useful than a spider web in the corner of a room. Which still leaves a little hope as far as the persistence of primordial communism is concerned. One must believe it is just as tenacious as turtles before all the floods, or, to put it another way, as tenacious as the lines on the palms of our hands.”

“That play of black upon white, white upon black, has the intent and takes the form of creative art. It has in it a flow of the spirit and a harmony of music. Everything is lost when suddenly a false note is struck, or one party in a duet suddenly launches forth on an eccentric flight of his own. A masterpiece of a game can be ruined by insensitivity to the feelings of an adversary.”

“آسانی آموزش زبان لاتینی برای ایتالیاییان، و فراوانی بقایای آثار هنری دوران باستان در آن کشور، راه را برای گرایش مردم ایتالیا به فرهنگ کلاسیک هموار ساخت؛ و چند عامل دیگر مانند سیرت قومی که با گذشت زمان دگرگون شده بود، و نهادهای سیاسی که لومباردها از آلمان وارد کرده بودند، و کلیسا، با آن گرایش به هم آمیختند و‌ روح مدرن ایتالیایی را که مقدر بود سرمشق و آرمان تمامی دنیای باختر زمین باشد، به دست آوردند.”

“Nature propels the philosopher into mankind like an arrow; it takes no aim but hopes the arrow will stick somewhere. But countless times it misses and is depressed at the fact… The artist and the philosopher are evidence against the purposiveness of nature as regards the means it employs, though they are also first-rate evidence as to the wisdom of its purpose. They strike home at only a few, while they ought to strike home at everybody—and even these few are not struck with the force with which the philosopher and artist launch their shot.” — Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari. A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, Treatise on Nomadology—The War Machine, p. 377 Archive.org”
