Boxing is your father's sport.

I had one fight in my adult life. I had the famous '89 fight with Nicole, which she admits that she initiated the physical part.

Golf is played with the arms.

All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that has none.

Although I have been prevented by outward circumstances from observing a strictly vegetarian diet, I have long been an adherent to the cause in principle. Besides agreeing with the aims of vegetarianism for aesthetic and moral reasons, it is my view that a vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.

The importance of C.F. Gauss for the development of modern physical theory and especially for the mathematical fundament of the theory of relativity is overwhelming indeed; also his achievement of the system of absolute measurement in the field of electromagnetism. In my opinion it is impossible to achieve a coherent objective picture of the world on the basis of concepts which are taken more or less from inner psychological experience.

result: every description of events in space involves the use of a rigid body to which such events have to be referred. The resulting relationship takes for granted that the laws of Euclidean geometry hold for 'distances', the 'distance' being represented physically by means of the convention of two marks on a rigid body.

Fundamental ideas play the most essential role in forming a physical theory. Books on physics are full of complicated mathematical formulae. But thought and ideas, not formulae, are the beginning of every physical theory.

of the actual objects of physical reality. Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended.

No fairer destiny could be allotted to any physical theory than that it should of itself point out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in which it lives on as a limiting case.

We thus obtain the following result: every description of events in space involves the use of a rigid body to which such events have to be referred. The resulting relationship takes for granted that the laws of Euclidean geometry hold for 'distances', the 'distance' being represented physically by means of the convention of two marks on a rigid body.

Sólo Riemann, incomprendido y solitario, se preocupó por establecer una nueva concepción del espacio en la que se segregaba al espacio de su inmovilidad y se posibilitaba su participación en los sucesos físicos.

Sobre la teoría de la relatividad] Debido a que el campo gravitatorio queda determinado por la configuración de masas y varía al variar dicha configuración, la estructura geométrica de este espacio depende también de los factores físicos. El espacio ya no es, pues, según esta teoría - exactamente como lo había presentido Riemann - absoluto, sino que su estructura depende de influencias físicas

The next time you feel angry, try to become aware of some of the physical sensations and changes that are occurring in your body. Remember that physical reactions accompanying your chronic anger can lead to damage, illness, and possibly premature death.

When your heart begins to pound, your face gets hot, your thoughts race, your blood pressure skyrockets, and adrenaline surges through your body, you will seldom act in a rational way. Your rage may lead to a constant struggle to control your actions. Your fury itself may feel very uncomfortable and be a constant reminder that you are not dealing effectively with the world around you.

The categories that a reader brings to a reading, and the categories in which that reading itself is placed - the learned social and political categories, and the physical categories into which a library is divided - constantly modify one another in ways that appear, over the years, more or less arbitrary or more or less imaginative. Every library is a library of preferences, and every chosen category implies an exclusion.

A physical shortcoming could produce a kind of mental excess. The process, it seemed, was reversible. Mental excess could produce, for its own purposes, the voluntary blindness and deafness of deliberate solitude, the artificial impotence of asceticism.

So far as they're concerned, the physical fronts don't exist. Except for a mouth and an anus, their patient doesn't have a body. He isn't an organism, he wasn't born with a constitution or a temperament. All he has is the two ends of a digestive tube, a family and a psyche.

Partly on his interest being focussed on what he calls 'the soul,' which he persists in regarding as an entity independent of the physical environment, whereas, as I tried to point out to him . . .

Una deficiencia física puede producir una especie de exceso mental. Al parecer, el proceso era reversible. Un exceso mental podía producir, en bien de sus propios fines, la voluntaria ceguera y sordera de la soledad deliberada, la impotencia artificial del ascetismo.

An artist's inspiration may be either a human or a spiritual grace, or a mixture of both. Hight artistic achievement is impossible without at least those forms of intellectual, emotional, or physical mortification appropriate to the kind of art which is being practiced.
