"The term 'intensity' in Deleuze's writings generally refers to [an] intensive change in quality [or its becoming more or less of itself]. Moreover, for Deleuze, although intensity is the intensification (or remission) of a quality, it is important to note that for this very reason intensity and quality ought not to be identified. A quality's becoming more or less of itself should not be confused with that quality itself. For example, the quality 'sweet' is not identical to 'a sweetness becoming more or less sweet.' Thus, any ontology of intensity that confused it with quality per e, instead of providing an account of the intensive change in a quality, would be fundamentally misleading..."
–Mary Beth Mader, from "Whence Intensity? Deleuze and the Revival of the Concept" (225)
