  • What does that mean, to be in favor or disgrace is to life in fear? Favor debases: we fear to lose it, fear to win it. So to be in favor or disgrace is to live in fear.

  • What does that mean, to take the body seriously is to admit one can suffer? I suffer because I'm a body; if I weren't a body, how could I suffer?
