Reading is to the mind what exercising is to the body.

No art is any good unless you can feel how it's put together. By and large it's the eye, the hand and if it's any good, you feel the body. Most of the best stuff seems to be a complete gesture, the totality of the artist's body; you can really lean on it.

The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us.

You can kill the body but not the spirit.

I was born with an adult head and a tiny body. Like a 'Peanuts' character.

As far as wrestling goes, as long as my body is able to withstand the physical beating, I will keep wrestling.

There the union of Church and State tends strongly to paralyze some of the members of the body of Christ. Here there is no such influence to destroy spiritual life and power.

I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body. Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that.
