Soul Man Quotes

It is God's earth out of which man is taken. From it he has his body. His body belongs to his essential being. Man's body is not his prison, his shell his exterior, but man himself. Man does not "have" a body; he does not "have" a soul; rather he "is" body and soul. Man in the beginning is really his body. He is one. He is his body, as Christ is completely his body, as the Church is the body of Christ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Simone Weil quote: "If the error is thrust deeply enough into the soul, man cannot..."
If the error is thrust deeply enough into the soul, man cannot but succumb to it. Simone Weil
Mahalia Jackson quote: "Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; man cannot live..."
Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; man cannot live in health without them. Mahalia Jackson
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart. Saint Augustine
Witold Gombrowicz quote: "Man is profoundly dependent on the reflection of himself in..."
Man is profoundly dependent on the reflection of himself in another man's soul, be it even the soul of an idiot. Witold Gombrowicz
Man has no Body distinct from his soul; for that called Body is a portion of a Soul discerned by the five senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age. William Blake
Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age. William Blake
Man’s wants remain unsatisfied till death. Then, when his soul is naked, is he one With the man in the wind, and the west moon, With the harmonious thunder of the sun Dylan Thomas
Man designs for himself a garden with a hundred kinds of trees, a thousand kinds of flowers, a hundred kinds of fruit and vegetables. Suppose, then, that the gardener of this garden knew no other distinction between edible and inedible, nine-tenths of this garden would be useless to him. He would pull up the most enchanting flowers and hew down the noblest trees and even regard them with a loathing and envious eye. This is what the Steppenwolf does with the thousand flowers of his soul. What... Herman Hesse
Man was made for joy and woe. Then when this we rightly know. Through the world we safely go. Joy and woe are woven fine. A clothing for the soul to bind. William Blake
Man is a spiritual being, a soul, and at some period of his life everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite. . . . There is something within him which urges him to rise above himself, to control his environment, to master the body and all things physical and live in a higher and more beautiful world. David O. McKay
Jean de La Fontaine quote: "Man is so made that when anything fires his soul,..."
Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish. Jean de La Fontaine
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quote: "Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but..."
Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the processes loses his soul. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's only a matter of discovering the lever. If you learn how to rule one single man's soul, you can get the rest of mankind. It's the soul, Peter, the soul. Not whips or swords or fire or guns. That's why the Caesars, the Attilas, the Napoleons were fools and did not last. We will. The soul, Peter, is that which can't be ruled. It must be broken. Drive a wedge in, get your fingers on it--and the man is yours. You won't need a whip--he'll bring it to you and ask to be whipped. Set him in... Ayn Rand
But let there be no misunderstanding: it is not that a real man, the object of knowledge, philosophical reflection or technological intervention, has been substituted for the soul, the illusion of theologians. The man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection more profound than himself. A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect and... Michel Foucault
