No one can transcend their own individuality.

It implies that individuals are inherently bound by their personal experiences, thoughts, and perspectives, and that these factors shape the way they perceive and interact with the world. In essence, it highlights the limits of human transcendence, emphasizing that each person's individuality is an integral part of who they are and cannot be completely bypassed or overlooked.

I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically, so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination.

If you are inclined to donate yourself to science, you should not let images of dissection or dismemberment put you off. They are no more or less gruesome, in my opinion, than ordinary decay or the sewing shut of your jaws via your nostrils for a funeral viewing.
