In class Monday I mentioned this quote about the body:
"our bodies are an illusion, pretending to be one thing when really they are millions upon millions of atoms coming and going...as if each of us were only a great train station...no, it was worse than that, more like a giant empty field where every day a circus erected and dismantled itself, the whole thing from top to bottom, but never the same circus, so what hope did we really have of ever making sense of ourselves, let alone one another?"
-Nicole Krauss
Also, this one:
"It is in moments of illness that we are compelled to recognize that we live not alone but chained to a creature of a different kingdom, whole words apart, who has no knowledge of us and by whom it is important to make ourselves understood: our body."
-Marcel Proust
