“Cała kultura opiera się na udawaniu. Że jesteśmy kulturalni.”

“Na przykład.
Obudziłem się. Chcę wstać.
Chcę wstać. Co to znaczy. Jest taki czas, że chcę wstać, a nie wstaję. Bo skoro wstaję, to nie "chcę"; ot, wstaję. Wstałem.
A tu nie.
Chcę.
Co to za granica? Co takiego oddziela "chcę" od "robię"?
Co za dziwny bufor intencji?
Nie ciało.
Nie niemoc fizyczna.
Nie niedowład woli. (Bo CHCĘ!)
Dlaczego zatem chcę, a nie wstaję?
(Chcę, a nie pracuję. Chcę, a nie idę. Chcę, a nie jem. Chcę, a nie mówię. Na przykład.)
Nawet jeśli tylko przez chwilę, przez sekundę, ułamek.
Jak nazwać ów ośrodek, który stawia mi opór?
Dla pływaka jest to woda. Dla dżdżownicy - ziemia. Dla jonu - pole elektromagnetyczne.
A dla woli - co?
Coś. Przeciwchcenie.
Nolensum.”
