Quotes About Body

I can certainly imagine a man without hands, feet, or head, for it is only experience that teaches us that the head is more necessary than the feet. But I cannot imagine a man without thought; he would be a stone or an animal.
~ Blaise Pascal
Our soul is cast into a body, where it finds number, time, dimension. Thereupon it reasons, and calls this nature, necessity, and can believe nothing else. If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible, since, having neither parts nor limits, He has no affinity to us. We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is. This being so, who will dare to undertake the decision of the question? Not we, who have no affinity to Him.
~ Blaise Pascal
Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.
~ Blaise Pascal
The infinite distance between the mind & the body is a symbol of the distance that is infinitely more, between the intellect & love, for love is divine.
~ Blaise Pascal

Hogyan vehetjük ennyire adottnak magunkat? Hogyan lehetséges, hogy sosem kérdÅ'jelezzük meg a testünket és a lényünket?
~ Bradbury Ray
It is something like the way dame Nature gathers round a foreign body an envelope of some insensitive tissue which can protect from evil that which it would otherwise harm by contact. If this be an ordered selfishness, then we should pause before we condemn any one for the vice of egoism, for there may be deeper root for its causes than we have knowledge of.
~ Bram Stoker
Don't separate the mind from the body. Don't separate even character - you can't. Our unit of existence is a body, a physical, tangible, sensate entity with perceptions and reactions that express it and form it simultaneously. Disease is one of our languages. Doctors understand what disease has to say about itself. It's up to the person with the disease to understand what the disease has to say to her.
~ Susanna Kaysen
We might get out sometime, but she was locked up forever in that body.
~ Susanna Kaysen
Por el simple hecho de que existe el cuerpo - decía -, somos sombra de todas manera, somos anfibios como las ranas: una parte de nosotros vive aquí, en lo bajo, y la otra tiende hacia lo alto. Vivir es tan sólo tener conciencia de esto, saberlo, luchar para que la luz no desaparezca derrotada por la sombra. Desconfíe de quien es perfecto - me decía -, de quien tiene las soluciones ya listas en el bolsillo, desconfíe de todo, salvo de lo que le dice su corazón.

Give your body and mind to worldly enjoyments, and the world will destroy them both. Devote them to God and his service, and you will enjoy bodily health, peace of mind, and spiritual joy.
~ Swami Prabhavananda
But what is the soul? Some say it is the self, the I that inhabits the body; without the soul, the body is like a lightbulb with no electricity. But it is more than the engine of life, say others; it is what gives life meaning and purpose. Soul is the fingerprint of God.
~ Sy Montgomery

~ Sylvia Day
I wanted to tell her that if only something were wrong with my body it would be fine, I would rather have anything wrong with my body than something wrong with my head, but the idea seemed so involved and wearisome that I didn't say anything. I only burrowed down further in the bed.
~ Sylvia Plath
Over your body the clouds go High, high and icily And a little flat, as if they Floated on a glass that was invisible. Unlike swans, Having no reflections; Unlike you, With no strings attached. All cool, all blue. Unlike you You, there on your back, Eyes to the sky.
~ Sylvia Plath
Your body Hurts me as the world hurts God
