Chair or no chair: a binary relation. But the vicissitudes of moving the body around are infinite. You never know what a person in a chair can do.

About This Quote

The chair or no chair is a binary relation. It means that you can either be in a chair or not in a chair. However, the vicissitudes of moving the body around are infinite. You never know what a person in a chair can do.

It is possible to sit in the same chair for years and not get bored of it. Yet, other activities can be quite boring after awhile too. Yet, there is nothing to stop you from moving your body around and doing something new every day.
