"...perception is not the object plus something, but the object minus something, minus everything that does not interest us. It could be said that the object itself merges with a pure virtual perception, at the same time as our real perception merges with the object from which it has abstracted only that which did not interest us. Hence Bergson's famous thesis (the full consequences of which we will have to analyze): We perceive things where they are, perception puts us at once into matter, is impersonal, and coincides with the perceived object." -D&G (on Bergson, obviously)
