Physical Body Quotes

Death is a long process," Archer says. "Your body is just the first part of you that croaks." Meaning: Beyond that, your dreams have to die. Then your expectations. And your anger about investing a lifetime in learning shit and loving people and earning money, only to have all that crap come to basically nothing. Really, your physical body dying is the easy part. Beyond that, your memories must die. And your ego. Your pride and shame and ambition and hope, all that Personal Identity Crap can... Chuck Palahniuk
The physical body is an agent of the spirit and its mirror. It is an engine and a reflection of the spirit. It is the spirit's ingenious memorandum to itself and the spirit sees itself in my body, just as I see my own face in a looking glass. My nerves reflect this. The earth is literally a mirror of thoughts. Objects themselves are embodied thoughts. Death is the dark backing that a mirror needs if we are to see anything. Saul Bellow
Henry Miller quote: "Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit..."
Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense. Henry Miller
Dualists hold that body and soul are separate entities and that the soul will continue beyond the existence of the physical body. Michael Shermer
Enoch...why are you here? Why has my spirit been incarnated into a physical bodi in this world generally? Or specifically, why am I here in a Swedish forest, standing on the wreck of a mysterious German rocket plane while a homosexual German sobs over the cremated remains of his Italian lover? Neal Stephenson
Most people would never admit it, but they'd been bitching since they were born. As soon as their head popped out into that bright delivery-room light, nothing had been right. Nothing had been as comfortable or felt so good. Just the effort it took to keep your stupid physical body alive, just finding food and cooking it and dishwashing, the keeping warm and bathing and sleeping, the walking and bowel movements and ingrown hairs, it was all getting to be too much work. Chuck Palahniuk
So this blessing of loneliness was not really loneliness. Real loneliness was something unendurable. What one wanted when exhausted by the noise and impact of physical bodies was not no people but disembodied people; all those denizens of beloved books who could be taken to one's heart and put away again, in silence, and with no hurt feelings. Elizabeth Goudge

I am convinced that life in a physical body is meant to be an ecstatic experience Shakti Gawain
The inmost spirit of poetry, in other words, is at bottom, in every recorded case, the voice of pain? and the physical body, so to speak, of poetry, is the treatment by which the poet tries to reconcile that pain with the world. Ted Hughes
I went to the Capitol and came to court specifically to draw attention to the problems of the world that directly affect my state of mind and my physical body and to offer a way to clean up the world. This is my intent. Lynette Fromme
I have been here before as a spirit - this is just my physical body, it is just an overcoat. And at death, you will take the overcoat off. Glenn Hoddle
Kenneth Scott Latourette quote: "Freedom was conditioned by man's physical body, heredity, and..."
Freedom was conditioned by man's physical body, heredity, and environment. Kenneth Scott Latourette
It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Dance is bigger than the physical body. When you extend your arm, it doesn't stop at the end of your fingers, because you're dancing bigger than that; you're dancing spirit. Judith Jamison
Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. John F. Kennedy
