What they want is to pin down the world with the aid of bar codes, labeling all things, letting it be known that everything is commodity, that this is how much it will cost you.

And why they aren't bound by the river's rules. I think that this is what attracts Annushka.

There is a certain well-known syndrome named after Stendhal in which one arrives in a place known from literature or art and experiences it so intensely that one grows weak or faints.

The threat of death slipped away. There's nothing to be afraid of. We are a mechanism, something like Huygens's clock.

And there is that other assumption, which is terribly dangerous- that we are constant, and that our reactions can be predicted.

If you're not on the internet, aImost as though you don't exist at all. You have to have at least one little mention, even if it's just in a list of school alumni.

At the point I departed from? Or at the point I'm headed to? Can there be an in-between? Am I like that lost day when you fly east, and that regained night that comes from going west….

The idea of the syndrome fits travel psychology like a glove. A syndrome is small, portable, not weighed down by theory, episodic. You can explain something with it and then discard it. A disposable instrument o cognition.
