Quotes About Bodily

~ Orhan Pamuk
The worst thing about zombies? The stains. Cadaver juice. It's the mother of all bodily fluids. It takes sodium hypochlorite bleach to get out of nylons. The number of pantyhose I went through in the nineties could fill the Baxter building.
~ Chelsea Cain
Gasm was one of the first to put a warning label on their record." Lucas saw the sticker on the shrink-wrap of Pain Threshold. WARNING!

~ Chet Williamson
No, no it is not man's nature. I will not allow it to be more man's nature than woman's to be inconstant and forget those they do love, or have loved. I believe the reverse. I believe in a true analogy between our bodily frames and our mental; and that as our bodies are the strongest, so are our feelings; capable of bearing most rough usage, and riding out the heaviest weather.
~ Jane Austen

The Tote End itself was demolished in the nineties. Sadly a monstrous IKEA store now stands in it's place. Where once tribes of youths performed their rites of passage and bodily fluids flowed in the name of love, hate and pride; Justin and Kate bicker over which wood flooring they should choose. It fucking kills me.
~ Chris Brown

~ Leo Tolstoy
the sacrifice of health and well-being to corporate-denominated images of bodily appearance.
~ Paul Theroux
What qualities are there for which a man gets so speedy a return of applause, as those of bodily superiority, activity, and valour? Time out of mind strength and courage have been the theme of bards and romances; and from the story of Troy down to to-day, poetry has always chosen a soldier for a hero. I wonder is it because men are cowards in heart that they admire bravery so much, and place military valour so far beyond every other quality for reward and worship?
~ William Makepeace Thackeray

To tell you my substratum I make a sentence of words composed only of the now-instants.

Rationalism demanded superiority to, and separation from, nature and nature's ways of knowing.
