“Mental pleasure are never cloy; unlike those of the body, they are increased by repetition, approved by reflection, and strengthened by enjoyment.”
Nathaniel Cotton Quotes
“The human body is not a thing or substance, given, but a continuous creation. The human body is an energy system which is never a complete structure; never static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction; we destroy in order to make it new.”
Norman O. Brown Quotes
“A human being is an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing.”
Christopher Morley Quotes
“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.”
David Cronenberg Quotes
“What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?”
William H. Davies Quotes
“We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell.”
Plato Quotes
“The human body is a magazine of inventions, the patent office, where are the models from which every hint is taken. All the tools and engines on earth are only extensions of its limbs and senses.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes
“A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul: a sick body is a prison.”
Francis Bacon Quotes
“I'm not into working out. My philosophy: No pain, no pain.”
George H. Mead Quotes
“All of us have mortal bodies, composed of perishable matter, but the soul lives forever: it is a portion of the Deity housed in our bodies.”

“Giving birth is like taking your lower lip and forcing it over your head.”
Ellen DeGeneres Quotes
“How many inner resources one needs to tolerate a life of leisure without fatigue.”

Epictetus Quotes
“Leisure is the exultation of the possible.”
Martin Buber Quotes
“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].”
Jackie Chan Quotes
