“I live with my body in danger as regards menacing machines
as well as manageable instruments. My body is everywhere: the bomb which
destroys my house also damages my body insofar as the house was already an
indication of my body. This is why my body always extends across the tool which
it utilizes: it is at the end of the cane on which I lean against the earth; it
is at the end of the telescope which shows me the stars; it is on the chair, in
the whole house; for it is my adaptation to these tools.”
From Jean-Paul Sartre's "Being and Nothingness"
