“There are several ways of botching your body without organs. If you unleash it with too violent of an action, if you blow apart the strata without precaution, then instead of engendering the plane you will be plunged into a sewn-up hole. The hypochondriac body, the paranoid body, the schizo body, the drugged body, the masochist body — a dreary parade catatonicized bodies. Empty instead of full. What happened? Many have been defeated in this battle”
