Weiner, M. A. in MAXIMUM IMMUNITY.

"Your immune system is programmed to take care of the day-to-day job of
protecting you against foreign invaders. Imagine that you body is a sovereign
nation--a complete, separate organism. What prevents your body, the host
country, from becoming a Petri dish for every kind of bacterium &virus? That
is the job of your immune system. It is the immune system that protects you
from attack by foreign &internal agents, that plans defensive actions, and
that provides the necessary personnel &equipment."

Lennart Nilsson in THE BODY VICTORIOUS:

"The organization of the human immune system is reminiscent of military
defense, with regard to both weapon technology and strategy. Our internal
army has at its disposal swift, highly mobile regiments, shock troops,
snipers, and tanks. We have soldier cells which, on contact with the enemy,
at once start producing homing missiles whose accuracy is overwhelming. Our
defense system also boasts ammunition which pierces and bursts bacteria."

Melanie Klein (interpreted by Ogden):

"Biological processes are mirrored in activities of the mind called
unconscious phantasies. Phantasy is the psychic representation of one's
biology. Mental phenomena have physiologic substrates."

Lacan:

"The unconscious is structured like a language."

Koenigsberg:

"Language is structured like the unconscious."
