Defining Indefinable

"But the Infantile part of me is insatiable - in fact its whole existence, or dasein, or whatever, lies in its "a priori" insatiability. In response to any environment of extraordinary gratification and pampering, the Insatiable Infant part of me will simply adjust its desires upward until it once again levels out at its homeostasis of terrible dissatisfaction."
A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again
-David Foster Wallace
