“...All this academic shit out there about The Body as if it were a thing apart...Anorexia arises not from narcissism, a fixation with your body, but a sense of its aloneness:...By recognizing the aloneness of your body it is possible to reach outside…, escape the predetermined world. ‘Anorexia is an active stance. The creation of an involuted body. How to abstract oneself from food fluxes and the mechanical sign of the meal”
― Chris Kraus, Aliens & Anorexia

“Belief; a mental trick to soften the landscape.”
― Chris Kraus, I Love Dick

“I am a careful man by nature, and only theoretically adventurous. I was afraid. But on the other hand there is pride.”
― H.G. Wells

“Rather than listen to one's own voice, rather than walk out on the primal cause, one goes on butchering and butchering and the more cowardly one feels the more heroically does he behave. Until a day when the bottom drops out and suddenly all the guns are silenced and the stretcher-bearers pick up the maimed and bleeding heroes and pin medals on their chest.”
― Henry Miller
