quotes: deleuze and parnet on writing

The collective assemblage is always like a murmur from which I take my proper name, the constellation of voices, concordant or not, from which I draw my voice…. To write is perhaps to bring this assemblage of the unconscious to the light of day, to select the whispering voices, to gather the tribes and secret idioms from which I extract something I call my self.
— Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet, Dialogues, pp. 84.
