“Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. As opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. This all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.”
― Milan Kundera, Slowness

“It was mostly just the concept of eating a cock that Matthew found so challenging, irrespective of which animal it came from.”

“Another fantasy film rolled suddenly into his head, without his consent:”
