Nimrod began to understand that what he was experiencing was, in spite of its appearance of novelty, something which had existed before—many times before. His body began to recognize situations, impressions, and objects. In reality, none of there astonished him very much.

He found actions and decisions of which he had not been aware but which had been lying in wait, ready to emerge. Bruno Schulz
