More From Rebecca Solnit

I've got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what i need. less emotional feedback, less warmth, less approval, less patience and less response. the less the merrier. chairs it is. i must furnish my heart with feelings for furniture.

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.

If people recognize me when i'm out in public, i'm very nice to them. i'm very nice to people even when they don't recognize me. i don't even mind if people come up to me while i'm eating dinner, but if they recognize me while i'm having sex, i refuse to sign autographs.

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. it will cease to run when the computer is turned off. theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one's memories.
