“Even you, who’ve lived inside your body for 64 years, would apparently be unable to recognize your foot in an isolated photograph of that foot, not to think of your ear or one of your eyes or elbow, also familiar to you in the context of the whole, but utterly anonymous when taken piece by piece. We are all aliens to ourselves, and if we have any sense of who we are, it is only because we live inside the eyes of others.” IfsThinkingYearsWholeBodyEyeTakenPiecesFeetEarsPhotographYour BodyFamiliarAliensWho We AreIsolatedThink Of YouElbows Author:Paul Auster
