“In the rhizome, there are no points or positions, as one finds in a linear structure (…) a rhizome neither begins nor ends; it is always in the middle, between things, it is inter-being, (…) it is moving between things, overturning ontology, undoing foundations, erasing beginning and end: from the multiplicity of thinking, [every] form of life is born.”
Gilles Deleuze – Félix Guattari
