"In 『Negotiations』, Deleuze says that the Lacanian categories of the symbolic and the imaginary seem to Guattari and him to be false categories … The Lacanian view assumes that the unconscious is a kind of theater where a self is staged and performed as the oedipal drama of mommy-daddy-child."

“In other words, let’s face it: Life is basically unfair. But even in a situation that’s unfair, I think it’s possible to seek out a kind of fairness. Of course, that might take time and effort. And maybe it won’t seem to be worth all that. It’s up to each individual to decide whether or not it is.”
