Animal Quote by Gloria E. Anzaldúa

“We are taught that the body is an ignorant animal intelligence dwells only in the head. But the body is smart. It does not discern between external stimuli and stimuli from the imagination. It reacts equally viscerally to events from the imagination as it does to real events.” quote by Gloria E. Anzaldúa — Download Open image
