[...] a body is defined only by a longitude and a latitude: in other words the sum total of the material elements belonging to it under given relations of movement and rest, speed and slowness (longitude); the sum total of the intensive affects it is capable of at a given power or degree of potential (latitude). Nothing but affects and local movements, differential speeds. (Deleuze and Guatarri, 2004, p.304)
string
Something throws itself together in a moment as an event and a sensation; a something both animated and inhabitable. (Stewart, 2007, p.1)
