Best Quotes about Body

1.
Every man is the builder of a temple called his body.
Henry David Thoreau

2.
The human body has two ends on it: one to create with and one to sit on. Sometimes people get their ends reversed. When this happens they need a kick in the seat of the pants.
Oech, Roger Von

3.
If any thing is sacred the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman

4.
It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it.
Haney, Lee

5.
An impersonal and scientific knowledge of the structure of our bodies is the surest safeguard against prurient curiosity and lascivious gloating.
Stopes, Marie Carmichael

6.
Men renounce whatever they have in common with women so as to experience no commonality with women; and what is left, according to men, is one piece of flesh a few inches long, the penis. The penis is sensate; the penis is the man; the man is human; the penis signifies humanity.
Dworkin, Andrea

7.
Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
Miller, Henry

Our bodies are our gardens to which our wills are gardeners.
William Shakespeare

Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.
Pythagoras

He who loves the world as his body may be entrusted with the empire.
Lao-tzu

All we actually have is our body and its muscles that allow us to be under our own power.
Allegra Kent

It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn - which is what life is all about.
Oprah Winfrey

14.
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

15.
There is but one temple in the universe and that is the body of man.
Novalis

16.
The body is a community made up of its innumerable cells or inhabitants.
Edison, Thomas A.

17.
Each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms.
Gloria Steinem

18.
Man consists of two parts, his mind and his body, only the body has more fun.
Allen, Woody

19.
A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
John Locke

20.
Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing - peace is the measure.
George Melton

21.
Addiction, obesity, starvation (anorexia nervosa) are political problems, not psychiatric: each condenses and expresses a contest between the individual and some other person or persons in his environment over the control of the individual's body.
Szasz, Thomas

22.
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

23.
The only bodily organ which is really regarded as inferior is the atrophied penis, a girl's clitoris.
Freud, Sigmund

24.
I am convinced that life in a physical body is meant to be an ecstatic experience.
Shakti Gawain

25.
Safeguard the health both of body and soul.
Cleobulus

26.
The body is a sacred garment.
Martha Graham

27.
The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.
Mindell, Thomas Arnold

28.
The mind's first step to self-awareness must be through the body.
George Sheehan

29.
Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives.
Marilyn Ferguson

30.
A healthy mind in a healthy body.
Juvenal

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing peace is the measure.
Melton, George

36.
Let me look at the foulness and ugliness of my body. Let me see myself as an ulcerous sore running with every horrible and disgusting poison.
Loyola, St. Ignatius

37.
The human body is a peculiar device, pat it on the back and the head swells.

38.
Hide your body in the Big Dipper.
Saying, Zen

39.
But the body is deeper than the soul and its secrets inscrutable.
E. M. Forster

40.
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

41.
Your body is the church where Nature asks to be reverenced.
Sade, Marquis De

42.
The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted.
Martha Graham

43.
I live in company with a body, a silent companion, exacting and eternal.
Eugene Delacroix

44.
The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

45.
What we feel and think and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and viscera.
Huxley, Aldous

46.
It is so much more difficult to live with one's body than with one's soul. One's body is so much more exacting: what it won't have it won't have, and nothing can make bitter into sweet.
Lawrence, D. H.

47.
Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself; the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which and be pointed out by your finger.
Cicero

48.
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.

49.
I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.
Oprah Winfrey

50.
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
