("Leo, do you read any other books?")

One can never go far enough in the direction of deterritorialization: you haven't seen anything yet--an irreversible process. And when we consider what there is of a profoundly artificial nature in the perverted reterritorializations, but also in the psychotic reterritorializations of the hospital, or even the familial neurotic reterritorializations, we cry out, 'More perversion! More artifice!'--to a point where the earth becomes so artificial that the movement of deterritorialization creates of necessity by itself a new earth.
-- Deleuze and Guattari, Anti-Oedipus (p. 321)
