Quote by Yevgeny Zamyatin

“وجود خودم را حس می‌کنم. اما تنها بعضی چیزها وجود خودشان را حس می‌کنند و از فردیتشان آگاهند؛ چشمی که خاری در آن رفته، انگشت ملتهب و دندان چرک کرده! چشم، انگشت و دندان سالم حس نمی‌شوند، انگار که وجود ندارند. آیا خودآگاهی به وضوح چیزی جز نوعی بیماری نیست؟”

“Only out of a great delusion would I say, We have learned how to send men to the moon. No such thing is true. We have not. Somebody has, to be sure, but not "we". We have not wiped out polio, nor have we learned the secret of atomic energy. A few of us, and a very few of us, have done all such things. Unless I remember that, I am continually subject to the delusion that tells me that I am somehow "better" and more "advanced" than my very distant ancestors who painted pictures on the walls of caves, and just because I happen to be a member of we.”

“The creation of these "happy" parts felt different from the splitting that began at my fingertips when I was under attack. Entering these "good" parts felt less noticeable. There was some dizziness and light-headedness, but it was mainly just a gentle shifting in my mind. I was unsure of where my body started and ended for just a few seconds.”

“Some of my parts were hard workers. My well developed memory helped me remember people: their names and positions and what they said during meetings. Rather than making me seem checked out, my dissociation made me seem calm and collected. In fact, the general dissociative state I was always in helped me function very well. I collected information, interacted on a personal and professional level, and was quite adept at managing most tasks in my life from this superficially numb and calm place. Most people, including me, didn't notice. This way of being and interacting was really all I knew.”
