Quote by Ivan Turgenev
What a magnificent body, how I should like to see it on the dissecting table.

Summary
This quote reflects a fascination with the human body and a desire to study it in the context of dissection. It suggests a curiosity and admiration for the intricacies and complexities of the human form, perhaps from a scientific or medical perspective. However, the speaker's language and tone might also indicate a morbid or macabre interest in the subject, emphasizing a detached, almost voyeuristic desire to examine the body in a disassembled state.
