The only way to get outside the dualisms is to be-between, to pass between… never ceasing to become.
Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, 1987: 277.  (via moonsandcherries)
The process of becoming-woman/animal, in fact, is not about signification, but rather the opposite: it is about the transcendence of the linguistic signifier. What it asserts is the potency of expression. Expression is about the non-linguistically coded affirmation of an affectivity whose degree, speed, extension and intensity can only be measured materially, pragmatically, case by case.
Rosi Braidotti, Metamorphoses, p. 119 (via mutantninjabarbies)

Under the influence of Guattari, Deleuze proposes instead a vision of the body as un-organic: a body-without-organs, a body freed from the codes of phallogocentric functions of identity. The un-organic ‘body without organs’ is supposed to create creative disjunctions in this system, freeing organs from their indexation to certain prerequisite functions: this is the process of becoming-animal.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
