    You don’t have a soul, Doctor. You are a soul. You have a body, temporarily.

    Reading that quote made me reflect on the distinctions between body, soul, and consciousness in a new way.

    It’s from the book A Canticle For Leibowitz for anyone curious.

        It really is a fantastic book. I’m a sucker for mid-20th century nuclear apocalypse literature, but this book is in a league of its own.
