Zitat des Tages über Anästhesie / Anesthesia:
I got this idea about being afraid to let go of something and being afraid of sinking into a state of almost anesthesia, where you have to trust other people. Just the paranoia of it all. And it seemed to suit the frenetic track. So I just wrote it out and, you know, said it.
The state should, I think, be called 'anesthesia.' This signifies insensibility.
Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.
Everyone agrees that animals should not be exposed to unnecessary pain. But neither should scientists be hamstrung by the requirement to use anesthesia in every animal experiment that might cause pain.
I think there's a lot of anesthesia being - that's been pumped into American culture, the mass media television, various forms of entertainment, and the illusion of wealth that we now understand to be an illusion as well as the illusion that America is a world power.
A doctor in a hospital told me that when the mujaheddin were fighting in the early Nineties, he often performed amputations and Caesarean sections without anesthesia because there were no supplies.
Anesthesia is quite remarkable. It's lost time. And you wake up kind of refreshed.
To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia - to mistake an ordinary young woman for a goddess.
