“It was morning by the clock but deepest nighttime in his body.”

“A stopped clock is correct twice a day, but a sundial can be used to stab someone, even at nighttime.”

“In this world, there are two times. There is mechanical time and there is body time.""They do not keep clocks in their houses. Instead, they listen to their heartbeats. They feel the rhythms of their moods and desires.""Then there are those who think their bodies don't exist. They live by mechanical time. They rise at seven o'clock in the morning. They eat their lunch at noon and their supper at six. They arrive at their appointments on time, precisely by the clock.”

“Before she got here everything had stalled inside me, and every morning I was just moving toward nighttime.”

“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.”

“A body is merely a vehicle. The deepest emotions are experienced through the soul.”
