"(either we eat God or he eats us)"
Tumblr media
“The consecrated host is Christ afflicted; it is God as a thing. God is edible… We respond to these awesome gifts by imitating them. We, too, must renounce being. We must not eat but rather become food.”
Tumblr media
“one could eat oneself - as if the human were a god (...)”
Tumblr media

If you need a constant feed of hooks, repetitive resolutions, and miniature dopamine rushes to feel invested in a story or song, then you've done the same thing to your capacity for art appreciation that porn does to your sex drive.
