"I am not going to use a computer because I don’t want to deny myself the pleasure of bodily involvement in my work…In using computers writers are flirting with a radical separation of mind and body, the elimination of the work of the body from the work of the mind. The text on the computer screen, and the computer printout too, has a sterile, untouched, factorymade look… The body does not do work like that. The body characterizes everything it touches. What it makes it traces over with the marks of its pulses and breathings, its excitements, hesitations, flaws and mistakes… And to those of us who love and honour the life of the body in this world, these marks are precious things, necessities of life."
