He is a foreigner in his own language: he does not mix another language with his own language, he carves out a nonpreexistent foreign language within his own language. He makes the language itself scream, stutter, stammer, or murmur.”

    Gilles Deleuze

It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.”
