"It is not I who wants to escape from my body, it is the body that attempts to escape from itself by means of...in short, a spasm"  

"The shadow escapes from the body like an animal we had been sheltering"

- G. Deleuze ('Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation')

"Between the motion

And the act.

    Falls the shadow" 

        - T.S Eliot ('The Hollow Men')

"Douglas Kahn notes that ‘people who have been in a life-threatening situation often must be told by others that they were screaming’ (2001: 245). In such instances,screams can occur outside of full consciousness – we scream before we ‘know’ that we scream." 

- Marie Thompson, 'Three Screams' in Sound, Music, Affect: Theorizing Sonic Experience (2013)
