Quote: E.B.White

"[Grace] can be dissected, as a frog, but the thing dies in the process, and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind."

I am gonna go with science as ruining everything special about what it touches. The scientific method tries to dissect everything, because that is its nature so in its pursuit man, trees, mountains, cells, etc all become mere constructs to a dissected framework. Can you tell I'm in a philosophy class? Its not just grace that loses special meaning when dissected. Its like that crappy film "bedazzled" you like. Its really a shit film but it is special because it reminds you of your 'home' from way back when.

Hi amanda
True....I love the posts.
dane somtimes I think if we dissected you things might at least seem a little more cheery on the inside, but I might be wrong plus I love your grumpy self put together rather then chopped up so I'll drop the idea. Plus I just went to "Bodyworlds" and saw enough dissection to last a while, Those bodies retain a great deal of beauty all pulled apart.I love you both.
