"Hard to distinguish hunger from wanting to eat." (16)
How can we tell if we are hungry? Our body tells us by grumbling. But how often do we eat because of these signs? Most people eat not because they are hungry but because they or bored or find comfort in eating. I like this quote because it is true. Maybe we eat not just to save ourselves from hunger, but also just the ability to eat. There are plenty of people who know hunger more than the rest of the world. They know what hunger is, and they also know what wanting to eat is. They probably do not distinguish the two because they cannot see the difference between eating for hunger or form boredom.

"This simply means that the imagination is more restless than the body." (18)
There is almost nothing more true in this statement for me right now than anything else. My mind is always restless. Sometimes my body is not moving but my mind is everywhere at once. While you sleep your body becomes paralyzed while you enter and remain in the REM cycle. Yet your mind is dreaming. Jumping from dream to dream. Your mind is never still. Even when you like to think it is. How often do you let your mind wander? It is said that every 10 minutes your mind needs a break. It can stay focused for a while before it needs to break off into a tangent. That can show you how everyones mind can be restless. Obviously more than the body. This was my favorite quote out of all the readings. Mostly because it pertains to me, but also because it is a true statement, and very observant  observation.
