Quote: Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari

"It is not the sleep of reason that produces monsters but more than anything else rationality, vigilant and unsleeping."
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Anti-Oedipus

  1. Hey, nice find :-)

    I knew about Goya's etching that D&G refer to, but not this quote.

    I actually blogged about Goya's piece here: http://fugitivedesire.blogspot.com/2009/08/sleep-of-reason-produces-monsters.html

  2. Thank you for sending me your link, I love your site, can I stick it on my blogroll? I actually came across the quote on the first page of a new book about the gargoyles of Notre-Dame. But it is right in line with all my cherished beliefs! I think I will have to read Anti-Oedipus.
