Best Quotes about Body
Why do we spend years using up our bodies to nurture our minds with experience and find our minds turning then to our exhausted bodies for solace?
Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
I live in company with a body, a silent companion, exacting and eternal. He it is who notes that individuality which is the seal of the weakness of our race. My soul has wings, but the brutal jailer is strict.
Delacroix, Eugene
What was my body to me? A kind of flunkey in my service. Let but my anger wax hot, my love grow exalted, my hatred collect in me, and that boasted solidarity between me and my body was gone.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack.
Henry Miller
The human body is a peculiar device, pat it on the back and the head swells.
All we actually have is our body and its muscles that allow us to be under our own power.
Allegra Kent
The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
I live in company with a body, a silent companion, exacting and eternal.
Eugene Delacroix
Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives.
Marilyn Ferguson
A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
John Locke
But the body is deeper than the soul and its secrets inscrutable.
E. M. Forster
The body is mortal, but the person dwelling in the body is immortal and immeasurable.
Bhagavad Gita
I don't think that the flesh is necessarily treacherous, evil, bad. It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.
Cronenberg, David
The body is a sacred garment.
Martha Graham
My skull, my eyes, my nose three times, my jaw, my shoulder, my chest, two fingers, a knee, everything from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. [Listing what body parts he has broken]
Chan, Jackie
I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.
Oprah Winfrey
There is but one temple in the universe and that is the body of man.
Novalis
In order to live a fully human life we require not only control of our bodies (though control is a prerequisite); we must touch the unity and resonance of our physicality, our bond with the natural order, the corporeal grounds of our intelligence.
Rich, Adrienne
The mind's first step to self-awareness must be through the body.
George Sheehan
The body is an instrument, the mind its function, the witness and reward of its operation.
George Santayana
Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly; this touches me and I say: One must not hide that! Then someone tells you: The shoulder is on the back. I've never seen women with shoulders on their backs.
Chanel, Coco

Atwood, Margaret
The body is a community made up of its innumerable cells or inhabitants.
Edison, Thomas A.
Man consists of two parts, his mind and his body, only the body has more fun.
Allen, Woody
Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen to them.
Shakti Gawain
When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint. When mankind turns instead to what can be done, altered, built, invented, in the outer world, all natural properties of men, animals, or metals become handicaps to be altered rather than clues to be followed.
Mead, Margaret
A healthy mind in a healthy body.
Juvenal
Wondrous hole! Magical hole! Dazzlingly influential hole! Noble and effulgent hole! From this hole everything follows logically: first the baby, then the placenta, then, for years and years and years until death, a way of life. It is all logic, and she who lives by the hole will live also by its logic. It is, appropriately, logic with a hole in it.
Ozick, Cynthia
Oh, darling, let your body in, let it tie you in, in comfort.
Anne Sexton
He had not an ounce of superfluous flesh on his bones, and leanness goes a great way towards gentility.
Gaskell, Elizabeth
Her body calculated to a millimeter to suggest a bud yet guarantee a flower.
Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.
Pythagoras
Safeguard the health both of body and soul.
Cleobulus
Each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms.
Gloria Steinem
I stand in awe of my body.
Henry David Thoreau
Many people treat their bodies as if they were rented from Hertz-something they are using to get around in but nothing they genuinely care about understanding.
Huang, Chungliang Al
He who loves the world as his body may be entrusted with the empire.
Lao-tzu
If any thing is sacred the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman
Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
Miller, Henry
I am convinced that life in a physical body is meant to be an ecstatic experience.
Shakti Gawain
Our own theological Church, as we know, has scorned and vilified the body till it has seemed almost a reproach and a shame to have one, yet at the same time has credited it with power to drag the soul to perdition.
Farnham, Eliza
The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted.
Martha Graham
It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it.
Haney, Lee
I'm not only my spirit buy my body, and who can decide how much I, my individual self, am conditioned by the accident of my body? Would Byron have been Byron but for his club foot, or Dostoyevsky Dostoyevsky without his epilepsy?
W. Somerset Maugham
Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
Mcginley, Phyllis
An impersonal and scientific knowledge of the structure of our bodies is the surest safeguard against prurient curiosity and lascivious gloating.
Stopes, Marie Carmichael
Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing - peace is the measure.
George Melton
Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing peace is the measure.
Melton, George
The body says what words cannot.
Martha Graham
