"The body without organs is produced as a whole, but in its own particular place within the process of production, alongside the parts that it neither unifies nor totalizes. And when it operates on them, when it turns back upon them (se rabat sur elles), it brings about transverse communications, transfinite summarizations, polyvocal and transcursive inscriptions on its own surface, on which the functional breaks of partial objects are continually intersected by breaks in the signifying chains, and by breaks effected by a subject that uses them as reference points in order to locate itself"
G. Deleuze & F. Guattari; The Whole and Its Parts

"[...]And indeed, we fail to understand the eternal return if we make it the consequence or an application of identity.
We fail to understand the eternal return if we do not oppose it to identity."
"[...] Eternal Return is being but being is selection."
G. Deleuze; Active and Reactive

"[...] the eternal return is not the permanence of the same, the equilibrium state or the resting place of the identical. It is not the 'same' or the 'one' which comes back in the eternal return but return is itself the one which ought to belong to diversity and to that which differs."
G. Deleuze; Active and Reactive
