‘The body is no longer the obstacle that separates thought from itself, that which it has to overcome to reach thinking.  It is on the contrary that which it plunges into or must plunge into, in order to reach the unthought, that is life.  Not that the body thinks, but, obstinate and stubborn, it forces us to think, and forces us to think what is concealed from thought, life... We do not even know what a body can do: in its sleep, in its drunkenness, in its efforts and resistances.  To think is to learn what a non-thinking body is capable of, its capacity, its postures...The body is never in the present, it contains the before and the after, tiredness and waiting’ (Deleuze, 2000: 189)
