“In his short story ‘A Painful Case,’ James Joyce wrote that his main character, Mr. Duffy, ‘lived at a little distance from his body.’ Joyce published this story back in 1914, but I can’t think of a better way to describe the modern condition. We seem to live apart from our bodies, to treat them like fleshly robots whose only purpose is to haul around our brains.”

“Everyone wants a quick fix. We’re tired of being afraid, tired of being sad, tired of feeling overwhelmed, tired of feeling tired. We want the old days back, and we don’t even remember them, and we want to push into the future, paradoxically, at top speed. Patience and forbearance become the first casualties of progress.”
