Gilles Deleuze
“Shit on your whole mortifying, imaginary, and symbolic theater!”
Gilles Deleuze, Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

Mari Ruti
“At the core of Lacanian ethics if therefore the idea that the subject who steps into the real - the place of the lack in the Other - severes its ties to the symbolic order. Such a subject is no longer embarassed by its inability to adhere to the rules of social behavior but instead embraces - feels compelled to embrace - the destructive energies of the real. This subject is not interested in trying to solve its problem within the parameteres of the system but rather insists on changing the game entirely, on defying the very structuring principles of the system, which is why the act opens a gateway to what might, from the perspective of the established order, seem completely inconceivable (or even utterly insane).”
Mari Ruti, The Ethics of Opting Out: Queer Theory's Defiant Subjects
