Quote #10

"Give me the body. I believe the life of the body is a greater reality than the life of the mind: when the body is really wakened to life. But so many people, like your famous wind-machine, have only got minds tacked on to their physical corpses." (16.72)

By this point in the book, Connie is a total convert. She's gone from being a brainy artist-type to rejecting the life of the mind almost totally.Unnatural and morbid, minds are tacked onto bodies like brains pickling gently in jars full of formaldehyde on the shelf of some mad scientist's lab.
