on friendship (1)


There is no community of ideas.

There are no common ideas.

Friendship is a matter of perception, a mystery.

There is a common "pre-language", the perception of the charm of small gestures.

The delicacy of small things.

One opens up to the signs emitted by someone.

Friendship as a category is a condition for the exercise of thought.

(GILLES DELEUZE)


My translation of a few quotes stolen from a friend, with thanks.
