"You believed you could transcend the body ... You believed you could rise above it, to a serene, non-physical realm. But it's only through ecstasy you can do that, and ecstasy is achieved through the body itself. Without the bone and sinew of wings, no flight. Without that ecstasy, you can only be dragged further down by the body, into its machinery."
- Stone Mattress, Margaret Atwood
