“The important thing is to understand life, each living individuality, not as a form, or a development of form, but as a complex relation between differential velocities, between deceleration and acceleration of particles. A composition of speeds and slownesses on a plane of immanence.”
This question of speed is important and also very complex. It doesn’t mean the first in the race: you can be late through speed. It doesn’t mean changing either: you can be invariable and constant through speed. Speed is to be caught in a becoming - which is not a development or an evolution. One must be like a taxi, queue, line of flight, traffic jam, bottleneck, green and red lights, slightly paranoid, brushes with the police.
