i. the poem of the unspeakable, of nefas (Martindale (1993) 72)
ii. It is no longer a question of a static genesis which would lead from the presupposed event to its actualisation in states of affairs and to its expression in propositions. It is a question of a dynamic genesis which leads directly from states of affairs to events, from mixtures to pure lines, from
depth to the production of surfaces… (Deleuze (2013) trans. Lester, 214)
iii. A surface is the limit of a body, or that which has only length and breadth without depth
(Diogenes Laertius, L&S 50E)
iv. "[flere vacat]…vix te sparsum per viscera, Baebi
innumeras inter carpentis membra coronae
discessisse manus…" (Civil War, 2.119-21)
"scarce [is there time to lament how], strewn about amongst your innards, Baebius, among the innumerable hands of the crowd tearing at your body parts, you passed away."
v. …Non arma movendi
iam locus est pressis, stipataque membra teruntur;
frangitur armatum conliso pectore pectus. (4.781-3)
…Not to move their weapons, is there space for those having been pressed together, their packed limbs grind away, the armoured breast fractured by another breast's striking.
vi. The Stoics say that a 'sayable,' is what subsists in accordance with a rational impression, and a rational impression is one in which the content of the impression can be exhibited in language.
(Sextus Empiricus, Against the Professors, 8.70, L&S 33C)
vii. …Nec volnus adactis
debetur gladiis: percussum est pectore ferrum,
et iuguli pressere manum. (4.560-2)
No wound is owed to the driven sword: the sword was struck by the chest, and throats pressed the hand [of the striker].

viii. it is the task of language both to establish limits and to go beyond them.
(Deleuze (2013) trans. Lester, 11)
ix. An individual, is therefore always in a world as a circle of convergence, and a world may be formed and thought only in the vicinity of the individuals which occupy or fill it.
