Ass fucking

"What got me by during that period was concieving of the history of philosophy as a kind of ass-fuck, or, what amounts to the same thing, an immaculate conception. I imagined myself approaching an author from behind and giving him a child that would indeed be his but would nonetheless be monstrous."

Gilles Deleuze

Any long term scholar of Deleuze is familiar, I am sure, of these lines. But I was so excited upon reading them that I had to note them. What a beautiful mental image: Deleuze fucking Lucretius, Hume, Spinoza, Nietzsche and Bergson up the ass in turn.
