77
I love bodies of work and albums and stuff like that.

Panayiotis Zavos

Ezra Taft Benson
112

Sharon Stone
119

120

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters
124

Nigel Farage

Headteachers and governing bodies run schools and that won’t change.

I do not believe that government should be in the business of telling women what they should do with their bodies.
Kamala Harris
161
In Holland, they have come to precisely the same conclusion. There they have adopted a system of secular education, because they have found it impracticable to unite the religious bodies in any system of combined religious instruction.
Richard Cobden
162
In my profession, I’m around a lot of people whose bodies are their instruments in one way or another.
Anna Deavere Smith
163
I’m afraid of open bodies of water. I was in a glass-bottomed boat that broke a long time ago, so I’ve always been kind of freaked out.
Madelaine Petsch
164
I know that sounds corny. And I know you’ve heard it before. But it’s really true: We’re so much more than our bodies.
Chrissy Metz
165
People are worried about their bodies. They’re worried about disease. They’re worried about how they are able to get out and participate in the world.
John Scalzi
166
You should drink at least eight glasses of water a day in order to stay regular, lose weight, and detoxify. Our bodies are mostly made of water, and yet we lose two to three quarts of it every day through perspiration and other bodily functions.
Suzanne Somers
167
Print science fiction writers often do consulting for government bodies.
Robert J. Sawyer
168
I am so not a proper, good female. I can’t dance in high heels and I’m just so not girly, but then I see these men with these banging bodies, dancing in heels, singing, and having so much fun with so much make-up on. That makes me honestly want to be a better woman.
Kesha
169
If you want to write from life, you can’t really write a story. People are always changing, and I think if we didn’t look the same day-to-day, and our self weren’t always in our body, would we even be the same? The continuity is in our bodies.
Sheila Heti
170
We are comfortable in our bodies, we know how healthy we are.
Jessica Origliasso
171
It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motions of particular bodies from the apparent because the parts of that immovable space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses.
Isaac Newton
172
For me, I really appreciate seeing real bodies on screen, that variation, not the same frames we saw for the majority of our upbringing, making us feel like we have to look that way.
Florence Pugh
173
I’ve always known that sporting people frequently suffer from joint problems because of the repeated strain they put on their bodies to get to the top. But somehow I never thought it would happen to me.
Carl Lewis
174
Every time I catch the ball, I’m seeing a lot of bodies. The key for me is not to force.
Paul Millsap
175
When our bodies are sick and people extend their sympathy, bring us soup, offer up solutions. When our minds are sick, people tend to shy away from you, be afraid, or call you outright crazy. I’m fascinated by the way society and individuals view mental illness, and most of my shorts comment on that.
Anna Akana
176
Fat is fat is fat, we lose it evenly all over our bodies, and your stubborn areas will be the last to go.
Chloe Madeley
177
The Roswell incident, for instance, had over three hundred witnesses – some describing the bodies, some the craft, some the military procedures. Were they all perpetuating their own lives in a myth?
Dwight Schultz
178
I feel like if we’re not running, we’re basically disrespecting our bodies. When you’re running, you’re really using your body for what it’s meant to do.
Flea
179
I have one of those bodies that is just a little more injury-prone.
Madison Keys
180
I really want to only put out three projects from Kevin Abstract as far as solo bodies of work.
Kevin Abstract
181
When our bodies are violated by this horrible disease of cancer, we’re in total shock because it’s so unexpected.
David H. Koch
182
‘White America’ is a syndicate arrayed to protect its exclusive power to dominate and control our bodies.
Ta-Nehisi Coates
183
I have an investment in the signifying aspects of the material as well as an understanding of antecedent bodies of work. That informs the way I make marks and make decisions.
Rashid Johnson
184
The fact that doctors tend to treat people as individuals, guided by the need to ensure patient confidentiality, can reinforce this pattern of seeing the changes and challenges aging brings on through our heads and our bodies, rather than as a shared experience.
Chuck Norris
185
I realize that I put my body through a lot, but I’ve always thought at the same time if I was a plumber or any kind of worker in that industry, which a lot of people that I grew up with are, I would imagine that their bodies feel the same, their backs are wrecked.
Cub Swanson
186
I’m not a completely envy-free zone – I envy 25-year-old men with magnificent bodies – but when I look at my colleagues on the whole, I don’t think I have much to envy!
David Starkey
187
We gotta show up and pay attention to details, embracing the process of hard work, and developing our bodies and minds to get ready for the season.
Antonio Brown
188
Obviously we’ve got a lot of science behind football these days and we’ve got a lot of people that can advise us on how best to look after our bodies.
Glenn Murray
189
Photography suits the temper of this age – of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.
Edward Weston
190
Slowly but surely, little by little, many different groups of vulnerable bodies and people have been targeted from since the beginning of time, from since the beginning of the construction of America and all the civilizations from around the world pre-colonially.
Indya Moore
191
‘The Look of Silence’ is able to have a wide public release, although still not in cinemas. It’s distributed by two government bodies, the National Human Rights Commission and the Jakarta Arts Council.
Joshua Oppenheimer
192
It is cool to be a pro wrestler and that makes it so much better for us as pro wrestlers – who go out there and put our bodies on the line and give the fans the entertainment that they deserve.
Jake Hager
193
There’s a reason why there’s a problem with bodies, and it’s because you never actually get to see any normal versions of them.
Florence Pugh
194
The Father’s plan is designed to provide direction for His children, to help them become happy, and to bring them safely home to Him with resurrected, exalted bodies.
David A. Bednar
195
When you own a car, you want to keep it looking good, maybe even give it a wash once a week. When you own a house, you try to keep it maintained and don’t let the rot set in. When we own something, we look after it. We need to make the same choices with our bodies.
Katie Hopkins
196
I’ve always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can’t do with their bodies.
Scott Ian
197
We’ve got to figure out a way to cause communities to also want them, the political, organized bodies.
Lee Scott
198
The truth of the matter is if we listened to our bodies and cleared our psychologies, we would inherently know what we need to do to stay healthy, and there wouldn’t be a market for diet pills, extreme cleanses, or low-calorie, pre-packaged junk food.
Tara Stiles
199
The NFL today has bigger, stronger, bodies than ever, moving faster than ever, hitting a stationary object harder than ever before – so the physics of the hit have changed.
Leigh Steinberg
200
I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government, but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies.
Tomi Lahren
201
There is a communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk.
M. F. K. Fisher
202
When I was younger and really interested in acting, I would look at all the women on TV, and even the ones who were supposed to be ‘geeks’ or ‘less attractive,’ they all looked similar because they were extremely attractive and their bodies were all a certain way.
Barbie Ferreira
203
Grateful daughters of God guard their bodies carefully, for they know they are the wellsprings of life, and they reverence life. They don’t uncover their bodies to find favor with the world. They walk in modesty to be in favor with their Father In Heaven. They know he loves them dearly.
Margaret D. Nadauld
204
I have not seen much dignity in the process by which we die. The quest to achieve true dignity fails when our bodies fail.
Sherwin B. Nuland
205
The House is rooted in the principle of direct elections and is unique among all branches and bodies of the federal government as without exception, the people’s voice.
Charles W. Pickering
206
So much of what blacks and women contend with is centered in how we view, and how the world views, our bodies. Gestures, voices, affect.
Margo Jefferson
207
The human brain is a product of natural selection. In the face of scarcity, our hominid great-great-uncles were unable to compete against our sapient great-great-grandparents’ abilities to build more elaborate mental models and orchestrate their bodies’ movements in more sophisticated ways.
Justin Rosenstein
208
We’re always learning about our bodies and learning how to take care of them properly and how to perform at our best.
Tessa Virtue
209
A novel can be set in motion by an incident, a character, a location, a mood – by anything at all. Sometimes the stimulus can be an idea, which will rapidly clothe itself in character and incident. ‘Foreign Bodies’ came about through the contemplation of the contrast between post-second world war America and Europe.
Cynthia Ozick
210
The fact that we’re all here in these bodies means that we’re not perfected.
George Harrison
211
I think people have the right to love whoever they want, and I think that women have the right to do whatever they wish to their bodies given the circumstances.
Zacky Vengeance
212
I believe there are lizards living amongst us. Do these humans who appear to be humans and look like us and act like us, go into the tunnels where their human faces, their human bodies – do they retract back into being lizards when they go into the tunnels?
Gemma Collins
213
Our affections as well as our bodies are in perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
214
When humanness is lost the radical difference between the bodies in the pit and people walking on the street is lost.
Edward Bond
215
The universe lies before you on the floor, in the air, in the mysterious bodies of your dancers, in your mind. From this voyage no one returns poor or weary.
Agnes de Mille
216
Our idea of a healthy body is so destabilised that insecure people have come to bolster their own bodies by deeming others – those with fat bodies – less worthy, less capable and less employable.
Susie Orbach
217
At the moment of death, when the seed atom in the heart is ruptured, which contains all the experience of the past life in a panoramic picture, the spirit leaves its physical body, taking with it the finer bodies.
Max Heindel
218
Animal hoarding was a dirty secret until hoarders appeared on our TV screens and showed how they are compelled to collect so many dogs, cats or parrots that the animals end up in cages only inches bigger than their own bodies. For life.
Ingrid Newkirk
219
Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
220
Women’s bodies have always been used as a spectacle and objectified.
Jameela Jamil
221
A democratic medical establishment does not alter people’s bodies to fit regressive social norms; it advocates for patients by demanding the social body get its act together.
Alice Dreger
222
I think that the firepower of the Civil War, the numbers of bodies that were left to rot, the numbers of amputations in the Civil War, all of this created threats to the understanding of the human being as an integral soul, as a body and soul that could be united.
Drew Gilpin Faust
223
I don’t think children are any more resilent than anyone else. They’re just people with little bodies.
Kirstie Alley
224
Move over, Helen of Troy; Jenny Trout is going to wage a war on good health and fit bodies!
Jennifer Armintrout
225
Actors are really working with bodies, with their minds, and with their emotions. Feelings, basically. That’s what movies are about, going from one feeling to another.
Nick Nolte
226
Just as the system of the sun, planets and comets is put in motion by the forces of gravity, and its parts persist in their motions, so the smaller systems of bodies also seem to be set in motion by other forces and their particles to be variously moved in relation to each other and, especially, by the electric force.
Isaac Newton
227
I feel like it’s the last frontier: the weight thing with women. I think that so many women, like, even myself, I’m so mean to myself about my body sometimes, or I can be judgmental of other people for their bodies. I don’t know how to get over it.
Busy Philipps
228
A mountain of evidence shows that our bodies are pushing, shaping, even leading our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That the body affects the mind is, it’s fair to say, incontestable. And it’s doing so in ways that either facilitate or impede our ability to bring our authentic best selves to our biggest challenges.
Amy Cuddy
229
I think a lot of magazine covers are heavily photoshopped and bodies are distorted to look a certain way.
Masaba Gupta
230
We have always policed the bodies of people of color, and black people in particular. The Jim Crow South is a classic example. White flight in the North. School segregation. Gerrymandering.
Robin DiAngelo
231
I wish I could change bodies and destinies.
Christine and the Queens
232
Traditional solutions as they stand are designed to aid the centralized party. That’s how it always has been. It will continue to be for the near future. As we evolve and we continue to gain more power and understanding, centralized bodies die down because there’s more power to the individual.
Spencer Dinwiddie
233
Manspread, mansplaining, manterrupting – all of it, whether conscious or not, diminishes women’s voices, minds, and bodies.
Faith Salie
234
People need to pay attention to their bodies and go get a checkup. If you do that, you have a chance to help illnesses from getting even worse.
Tony Dorsett
235
I’m so aware how often women’s bodies are objectified on film.
Sarah Gavron
236
There’s a direct correlation between media and how we feel about our bodies.
Iskra Lawrence
237
Here is my wish and my desire and my pledge as well: that we remember our true nature and our womanhood. That we own and know that we are more than our bodies and yet our bodies are these sacred, beautiful, rhythmic houses for us.
Tracee Ellis Ross
238
You can’t be pregnant in leotards, and this is the last chance for us to get our bodies into the shape of concert dancers and capture it with the magic of film.
Patrick Swayze
239
It’s been vindicating to see the reaction from lawmakers, judges, public bodies around the world, civil liberties activists who have said it’s true that we have a right to at least know the broad outlines of what our government’s doing in our name and what it’s doing against us.
Edward Snowden
240
I always thought that if you don’t feel the breath in the actors’ bodies, you lose all the intimacy and truth.
Richard LaGravenese
241
You only have one vessel. And the more we invest in our bodies, the better we feel about ourselves.
Wayne Messam
242
‘Warm Bodies’ is a love story: a zombie-human being love story. And people are comparing it to ‘Twilight,’ but I think it’s three times better. It has a comedic twist to it as well.
Cory Hardrict
243
The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.
Deepak Chopra
244
In ‘Bodies,’ we had a lot of gore because it was a medical drama. The gore was authentic.
Jed Mercurio
245
All bodies can’t be same, my body will react differently tours.
Dutee Chand
246
Putting good foods into kids’ bodies puts me at peace and makes me really happy.
Ayesha Curry
247
I wanted women wearing my sweaters to give the impression they were naked. The aim wasn’t to impose outfits but to stay as close as possible to women’s bodies and their freedom of movement.
Sonia Rykiel
248
Triple H is a bodybuilder nut. He goes after the bodies. He doesn’t care how good – and he can look in the mirror – guys work; he cares how guys look.
Bret Hart
249
I’m very much a person that believes that there’s something that was introduced into Kenya and Africa as we know it that has made us despise our bodies.
Wangechi Mutu
250
The end of life is likely to be an important focus for innovation. Most people die in hospitals, tied up with tubes and with their bodies pumped full of drugs. Yet most would rather die at home and with more control over the timing and manner of their death.
Geoff Mulgan
251
What I believe in and the way I work with my clients is we’re so quick to say what we don’t like about our bodies, but it’s really important to say the things we do like about our bodies. If you know you have great legs or a great butt, or if you’re curvy, show it off if you’re proud of it.
Brad Goreski
252
I’m blessed with nice legs, but I see lots of guys with big upper bodies and pencil legs.
Clarence Clemons
253
Bodies which contain a greater proportion of water than is necessary to balance the other elements, are speedily corrupted, and lose their virtues and properties.
Vitruvius
254
In ‘Dragon Ball,’ the characters have a challenge. They know they have to push their bodies to the limit in their training so they can make sure to defeat their opponent, much like professional football players.
Mike Daniels
255
I would like all the trolls to look at their bodies instead of trolling others. What is ironic is the fact that it is easy to criticise sitting behind your computer, in complete anonymity, about other people. on the basis of their appearances but very difficult to introspect and look within themselves.
Diana Penty
256
We’ve been playing ugly. Without all of our bodies, we’ve been kicking it all over the shop, but fortunately we’ve been able to make the big buckets and rely on our defense for once.
Steve Nash
257
It’s interesting to note that when something like a virus tries to poison us, the first thing our bodies do is heat up. We burn away the infection. Maybe that’s what Earth is doing to us.
Simon Toyne
258
We pop into existence and we know that we die and we know that we lose everyone that we love and we know we even lose our own bodies. And what a paradigm. What a mystery.
Adrianne Lenker
259
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
260
I’m chasing belts. I’m highly ranked, and after I beat Chisora, I should be No. 1 with at least four of the governing bodies.
Dillian Whyte
261
I mean I’ve been around a lot of places and there’s been a lot of guys that – every single team that I’ve ever been on, I really try to take advantage of the older veterans that are there, try to learn about their process, how they take care of their bodies, how they study, how they watch film.
Chris Hogan
262
Just as your own existence is unlikely and far from inevitable, the evolution of modern humans as a species depended on a whole string of chance events – some happening in the environments our ancestors inhabited, and some inside their own bodies, including random mutations in their DNA.
Alice Roberts
263
Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale.
Robert Falcon Scott
264
I want people to realize that they aren’t their bodies. They are something more than their bodies.
Rain Dove
265
Sometimes I think albums are so ambitious, they don’t stand as bodies of work because you try to achieve so much, and sometimes we need to do less. Say less.
No I.D.
266
I don’t like how women’s bodies are Page 3 news. I just don’t think that’s big news. Women’s bodies are women’s bodies, and that’s that. And I love to see beautiful – the female form in great art and great photography.
Eliza Doolittle
267
Death is not more certainly a separation of our souls from our bodies than the Christian life is a separation of our souls from worldly tempers, vain indulgences, and unnecessary cares.
William Law
268
People have actually had my face tattooed on to their bodies, which is so odd.
Shannon Purser
269
It is important for those of us who are Christian to remember that our physical lives don’t last forever. Our souls will last an eternity, and thus we should place even more emphasis on the health of our souls than the health of our bodies.
Michael Huffington
270
The truth is that throughout my careers in both chess and the martial arts, I often knew that my rivals were more naturally gifted than me – either with their mental machines or their bodies. But I have believed in my training, my approach to learning, and my ability to rise to the challenge under pressure.
Joshua Waitzkin
271
We should realize in a vivid and revolutionary sense that we are not in our bodies but our bodies are in us.
Ruth St. Denis
272
In the Constitution of India the Supreme Court and the High Courts were seen as watchdog bodies, independent of the executive, and entrusted with the task of seeing that all institutions function in accordance with the Constitution, and the Rule of Law.
Prashant Bhushan
273
And although our bodies are bounded with skin, and we can differentiate between outside and inside, they cannot exist except in a certain kind of natural environment.
Alan Watts
274
Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.
Virginia Woolf
275
People of great power wield great power, but people of lesser power or people who have fallen out of power go to jail without adequate evidence, or their bodies are found in the trunks of cars.
Ratan Tata
276
Our bodies are always going to change, and we might not always love that, but it really has nothing to do with true beauty. True beauty comes from within.
Nia Jax
277
I also met, early on Ella Fitzgerald. Her songbooks are some of the most amazing bodies of work.
Johnny Mathis
278
The word deepfake has become a generic noun for the use of machine-learning algorithms and facial-mapping technology to digitally manipulate people’s voices, bodies and faces. And the technology is increasingly so realistic that the deepfakes are almost impossible to detect.
Ben Sasse
279
In 1874, Mary Fraser accompanied her husband Hugh to Hong Kong, arriving hours after a typhoon had wrecked the island. Some 10,000 boat families had drowned in the harbour. There was no way to avoid the bloated bodies, and when Mary disembarked, she felt her foot land on something soft.
Amanda Foreman
280
If I have one message to young swimmers about taking care of their bodies, it’s definitely take care of your shoulders.
Eric Shanteau
281
Women are not a doormat. We are equivalent to men. It is just that we have different bodies and different biological needs.
Kalki Koechlin
282
I’d like people to listen to our soldiers. They were there. They heard the alarms go off. They tasted the substance in the air. They spit up blood. They had rashes on their bodies. They got sick.
Christopher Shays
283
There are just so many substances that are considered banned substances because in some way it could help your performance on the court. As athletes, we should be responsible for what we put in our bodies.
O. J. Mayo
284
There are so many – namely black and brown bodies – who have experienced a different America than what the mainstream American flag symbolizes.
Maya Moore
285
We are bodies which think, and we’re at home with steampunk because it is an ethos of design and creativity which acknowledges the humanly physical: that which we can understand with our fingers.
Nick Harkaway
286
What we put in our bodies can make us feel depressed or anxious, and it’s the same for fitness, I think it all joins up in this big circle.
Katie Piper
287
The original fairy tale was about the youngest sister going into a room in the castle and finding all the bodies of the wives that came before her – she is confronted with truth, thinking about how often we think we know people and we really don’t.
Alice Hoffman
288
For guys who are into fitness, I think it’s important to wear slim-fit stuff that is pretty tight so they can show off the bodies they have been working hard to have. Women are going to appreciate that.
Carl Hagelin
289
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn’t lend itself to histrionics. You ‘take in’ a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
Charles Krauthammer
290
There is a psychological and physical toll from the pressure to recreate ourselves in midlife. To survive as workers, we have to deny, on some level, the realities of our bodies – bodies that age and give birth.
Alissa Quart
291
Ted Williams, an extraordinary hitter in his day, has said the swing starts in the hips, and Sosa arrived with one of the strongest lower bodies in the game.
Bill Dedman
292
When I first started designing, all women were dressed like men, and I said, ‘Hey, guys, let’s be women, put the two together – it’s not either/or. Let’s celebrate our bodies. Our bodies are different.’
Donna Karan
293
I don’t think politicians should be allowed into power who are not familiar with their bodies, because that’s where our bottom line is. And I know that they would make totally different decisions if they felt responsible simply for their own bodies.
Twyla Tharp
294
Even in the angels there is the subordination of one hierarchy to another, and in the heavens, and all the bodies that are moved, the lowest by the highest and the highest in their turn unto the Supreme Mover of all.
Saint Ignatius
295
It’s incredible to me that any two individual minds, trapped in their skulls and bodies and histories and unique experiences, are able to reach across the void between them and touch at all.
Ken Liu
296
Dancing is hard on all bodies, but I particularly kept getting injured.
Neve Campbell
297
Words and images deeply impact the way we view our bodies, and the consequences can be very damaging.
Iskra Lawrence
298
It’s ridiculous that we are in a place where we feel like we can classify and dismiss certain groups of people just because of the way they look, or we have these standards of health – like, cellulite is something you need to get rid of. No, it isn’t. It’s just a part of people’s bodies.
Zach Anner
299
In-house bodies of lawyers i.e. the Bar Council, and of doctors i.e. the Medical Council have notoriously failed to seek accountability of lawyers and doctors who have been misconducting themselves.
Prashant Bhushan
300
Our bodies have a finely tuned, built-in detoxifying system: It’s called our liver, and it can detoxify our bodies better than any cleanse or fast without the unpleasantness and danger of muscle cramps, dehydration, and diarrhea associated with artificial cleanses.
Harley Pasternak
301
I can easily conceive, most Holy Father, that as soon as some people learn that in this book which I have written concerning the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, I ascribe certain motions to the Earth, they will cry out at once that I and my theory should be rejected.
Nicolaus Copernicus
302
I would like to see sexiness sort of embodied in people’s real bodies, as opposed to those bodies that are just full of narcissism.
David Harbour
303
Time is a gift and a threat because we are bodily creatures. We only come into existence through the bodies of others, but that very body destines us to death. We must be born and we must die.
Stanley Hauerwas
304
I don’t want to have one hit, one song of the summer, and then have me disappear forever. I really want my things to last, and I want my songs and my bodies of work to resonate with people. I want to hit people – at least make a dent in them. I want to make a mark somehow.
Alessia Cara
305
At a time when we aim to accelerate our efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and define a bold agenda for the period beyond 2015, the role of charity can and should grow. U.N. bodies such as the U.N. Volunteers Programme and UNICEF offer venues for people across the world to get involved.
Ban Ki-moon
306
We take better care of the maintenance of our cars than we take care of the maintenance of our bodies.
David H. Murdock
307
I think it’s good that people value their bodies and take care of them. I think if you cross the line and begin using your body as an asset or as an extension of your vanity, you’ve gone too far.
Peter Coyote
308
I don’t have a problem with being a woman. Women’s bodies are so beautiful.
Malin Akerman
309
Water is commonly regarded as the ‘solvent of life,’ since our bodies are 70% water. All other vertebrates, invertebrates, microbes, and plants are also primarily water. The organization of water within biological compartments is fundamental to life, and the aquaporins serve as the plumbing systems for cells.
Peter Agre
310
Muscles are fleeting. Bodies give out. But integrity, honor? The confidence to be oneself, to follow one’s heart? The compassionate drive to help others, even at great risk? That’s strength.
Marjorie Liu
311
Playgrounds are essentially machines to induce Newtonian physics on our own bodies.
Jake Barton
312
I’d like to look like Madonna when I’m her age. I also look at athletes and love their bodies. I’ve always wanted to be muscly, not skinny. A lot of women yo-yo around, but I’m always aware if I’m getting a bit out of shape. I never look at the scales but I can just tell. It goes on my tum and bum.
Ellie Goulding
313
Many of us are tethered to bodies that sabotage us in our struggle to keep from getting fat, or to slim down when we do.
Robin Marantz Henig
314
When you hear anyone policing the bodies of trans women, misgendering and othering us, and violently exiling us from spaces, you should not dismiss it as a trans issue that trans women should speak out against. You should be engaged in the dialogue, discourse, and activism that challenges the very fibers of your movement.
Janet Mock
315
On the religious Right and religious people in general have the feeling that the world is not just material, the world is not just there for us to do what we want with. That our bodies, things have an immaterial essence, a spiritual essence that God is in all of us.
Jonathan Haidt

Fat bodies are used comically. I respect Rebel Wilson so much, and Melissa McCarthy. I love them both. But so often, I feel like fat female bodies are used as props.
Mary Lambert
317
The same law takes place in a system, consisting of many bodies, as in one single body, with regard to their persevering in their state of motion or of rest. For the progressive motion, whether of one single body or of a whole system of bodies, is always to be estimated from the motion of the center of gravity.
Isaac Newton
318
I was very skinny and very lanky and kind of awkward. In Puerto Rico, everybody is a little more voluptuous, with these beautiful bodies, and there I was, the skinny, lanky girl.
Joyce Giraud
319
There are physical bodies, physical worlds that astronauts could visit, that we haven’t found yet. Especially, there’s these close approaches of asteroids. They pass within geosynchronous orbit sometimes, and they pass within the Earth and the moon.
Carrie Nugent
320
There have been times when things get stuck in my throat, but you just work it up or down. Like how a swimmer probably can’t imagine drowning – their bodies are so used to being in the water. I’m so used to shoving things down my throat.
Joey Chestnut
321
My husband has the philosophy that if you can work a Nintendo control, you can chop an onion. So, we have our children in the kitchen. We sit down every night for dinner. We’re trying to give our kids a sense of what’s going into their bodies, and it’s also good for family time.
Debi Mazar
322
We are not angels, we are merely sophisticated apes. Yet we feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, craving transcendence and all the time trying to spread our wings and fly off, and it’s really a very odd predicament to be in, if you think about it.
Vilayanur S. Ramachandran
323
I never had one of those glorious young bodies that make older men and women weep. So I don’t tend to look back with nostalgia or yearn for what I’ve lost. Because it was never all that.
Lisa Jewell
324
There’s a lot of mountain climbers trapped inside of bodies of people behind the counter at Kinko’s.
Henry Rollins
325
If I can procure three hundred good substantial names of persons, or bodies, or institutions, I cannot fail to do well for my family, although I must abandon my life to its success, and undergo many sad perplexities and perhaps never see again my own beloved America.
John James Audubon
326
The medical nanobots in my novel ‘Small Miracles’ tap the energy sources that the patient’s own body provides. That is, they can metabolize glycerol and glucose, just as the cells in our bodies do.
Edward M. Lerner
327
Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning – an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
328
I personally don’t have a problem with naked bodies on television.
Lesley-Anne Down
329
I’m not particularly good at page layouts. I make an effort to stay out of the way of the artist. What I’ll try to express instead is, ‘What we’re going for here on this page is the idea of the containment of these women’s bodies. So I want them framed as though they’re bursting out of the panel borders.’
Kelly Sue DeConnick
330
Midlife is a time of explosive change, when our hormones rampage and our bodies alter, forcing us into a whole new chapter of life whether we want it or not. Everyone has a moment when they realise for sure that this so-called passage of time is changing them – and perhaps not in a good way.
Kate Garraway
331
As a designer, I always want to put out to a larger public. I truly believe that all bodies are beautiful, and that’s what makes our world exciting.
Zac Posen
332
Women’s bodies are used to sell anything and everything because it works, it grabs people’s attention, and advertisers aren’t going to stop using something that works.
Liz Phair
333
You must take a definite idea, set it in the centre of your thinking, and then logically arrange your furthest thoughts in such a way that they are all closely linked with the original idea. Even if you do this for only a minute, it can be of great importance for the rhythm of the physical and etheric bodies.
Rudolf Steiner
334
I just really like fun, cool, interesting, quirky girls. And sometimes you find that in 6’2 model bodies and sometimes they’re short and brunette. All shapes and sizes – it’s really about the personality. That sounds cliche, but it’s so freaking true!
Dylan O’Brien
335
It is suggested to us a million times a day that our bodies are projects. They aren’t. Our lives are. Our spirituality is. Our relationships are. Our work is.
Glennon Doyle Melton
336
Although we’re acting, and our minds know that we’re acting, our bodies don’t quite know that we’re acting. So even when you’re watching someone acting like they’re dying, your body has like a true real response to it.
Isa Briones
337
Women have always been at the forefront of progressive movements. Women can be depended on when you need bodies in the streets for women’s rights and human rights.
Martha Plimpton
338
Fashion has this youth mania. But 70-year-old ladies don’t have 18-year-old bodies, and 18-year-olds don’t have a 70-year-old’s dollars.
Iris Apfel
339
Japanese children have infinitely more developed bodies than those in the West. From the age of two, a child learns to sit in a perfectly balanced manner; between two and three, the child begins to bow regularly, which is a wonderful exercise for the body.
Peter Brook
340
I’d personally like to see more ‘real bodies’ in magazines.
Amanda de Cadenet
341
I always believed that clothes should be designed to conform to our bodies and not our bodies to conform to the clothing.
Indya Moore
342
Don’t program yourself to break down as you age with thoughts that decline is inevitable. Time may be passing for our bodies, but because they house our ageless souls, we never need to see ourselves as old and infirm.
Wayne Dyer
343
Well, as I understand it, the main supporters are beer companies and the pharmaceutical companies. I’d like them to show me the dead bodies from marijuana. But they can’t because there aren’t any.
Jack Herer
344
I know it sounds funny coming from me, ’cause I produced it, but that’s one of my favorite bodies of work. That’s what ‘Beast Mode’ was when it came out and still is.
Zaytoven
345
Sensation is not the conduction of a quality or state of external bodies to consciousness, but the conduction of a quality or state of our nerves to consciousness, excited by an external cause.
Johannes P. Muller
346
All we know is that, at times, fighting the Russians, we had to remove the piles of enemy bodies from before our trenches, so as to get a clear field of fire against new waves of assault.
Paul von Hindenburg
347
Food is meant to be used as fuel for our bodies. If you’re using it for any other reasons, take a step back and ask yourself, ‘What’s up.’
Jennifer Hudson
348
Manners are the lubricating oil of an organization. It is a law of nature that two moving bodies in contact with each other create friction. This is as true for human beings as it is for inanimate objects.
Peter Drucker
349
No authoritarian leader cedes power easily or turns it over to bodies he cannot control.
Stephen Kinzer
350
What better way is there to raise money for such an important organization like Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS than by celebrating all types of bodies, all types of relationships, and just acceptance overall?
Kirstin Maldonado
351
The criminal justice system in the United States is designed to do two things really well: to railroad black and brown bodies into prison, and to keep police officers out of it.
Joy Reid
352
I really hope everyone who saw ‘Twilight’ sees ‘Warm Bodies,’ but at the same time… I don’t resent the comparison on a level of quality because I don’t judge other movies like that. Now that I make movies, I see how hard it is to do everything. I pretty much love all movies.
Jonathan Levine
353
We need to cut the pensions and annuities of parliamentarians, regional councilors, and employees of constitutional bodies.
Giuseppe Conte
354
MPs are members in Delhi Development Authority. They can improve land allotment in schools, colleges, hospitals. MPs head the district-wise committee on monitoring how government bodies function. So, incrementally, MPs on their own can improve the situation.
Atishi
355
As parents, we’ll go to the ends of the earth for our kids. As soon as they’re born – and during pregnancy – we hope and pray for their good health. As soon as they’re born, we swaddle them, feed them, and breathe a sigh of relief when we see their little bodies breathing and crying as they should.
Ralph Northam
356
We all know what we don’t like about our bodies.
Trinny Woodall
357
What childishness is it that while there’s breath of life in our bodies, we are determined to rush to see the sun the other way around?
Elizabeth Bishop
358
Emotionally men and women are different, but only as a result of the physical differences. It all comes back to our bodies.
Willem Dafoe
359
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
Isaac Newton
360
When it comes to crime, college campuses act as if they are sovereign nations, inside which secret bodies can adjudicate criminal wrongdoing to protect the reputation of the institution and the illusion that it is a safe place to send your kids.
S.E. Cupp
361
The real message of the Dance opens up the vistas of life to all who have the urge to express beauty with no other instrument than their own bodies, with no apparatus and no dependence on anything other than space.
Ruth St. Denis
362
Jason Lee made me laugh all the time because he’s so big, and I love how goofy bodies can be.
Selma Blair
363
Painting bodies with the patterns of Kusama’s hallucinations obliterated their individual selves and returned them to the infinite universe.
Yayoi Kusama
364
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Mencius
365
I look upon meself as… You take a band that’s made up of arms, legs, bodies… I happen to be the piece that talks. And does all that area of it, you know? I’m also very easy to recognize; the darkie in the middle jumping around with the guitar, you know. Dat boy’s got rhydm!!!
Phil Lynott
366
We need to see real women’s bodies.
Iskra Lawrence
367
I knew my body could take the battle of everyday training and take the battle of falls and bending in ways that bodies really shouldn’t bend.
Kaetlyn Osmond
368
You’ll probably find most models are incredibly insecure about their bodies.
Caitriona Balfe
369
Our minds are affected by sin. Our hearts are affected by sin. Our wills are affected by sin. Our bodies are affected by sin.
Tullian Tchividjian
370
I just think that people should be in charge of their own bodies.
Michelle Phillips
371
Therefore I would not have it unknown to Your Holiness, the the only thing which induced me to look for another way of reckoning the movements of the heavenly bodies was that I knew that mathematicians by no means agree in their investigation thereof.
Nicolaus Copernicus
372
My wife has forced me to wear designer jeans, and I find… there must be two or three hundred different kinds of jeans you can wear, all of which are made out of denim and look roughly the same. People are different. They have different tastes, different bodies. Cellphones ought to be the same.
Martin Cooper
373
The United Nations has an irreplaceable role in dealing with global issues. While other international bodies play important roles, the U.N. is the only truly global arena where we can achieve results for the global good.
Miroslav Lajcak
374
I come from a place where we’re not that shy about our bodies.
Heidi Klum
375
But you can count the dead bodies from alcohol, tobacco, and legal pharmaceuticals by the millions.
Jack Herer
376
One thing that those who are in shape have in common is that we are restricting. When eating, we are choosing what we put in our bodies. This arrests unconscious eating.
Mandy Ingber
377
We often mistake the artificial chemical and psychological thrill of fake edges for the real. In fact we often seek them out as a substitute for the reality of change, growth and exploration. Our minds and bodies help us in this, as they react much the same to this simulations as to the real world.
Rick Tumlinson
378
I don’t hate people who colour-blind cast, but I hate people who colour-blind cast and pretend that they’re not, who pretend that these bodies on stage don’t actually carry specific meaning.
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
379
I think the shape of our bodies has as much to do with the shape of our parents as it does with training.
Deborah Bull
380
For the last ten years, I’ve been trying to avoid getting killed by Putin’s regime, and there already exists a trail of dead bodies connected to its desire to see me dead.
Bill Browder
381
It’s sort of like, our bodies are designed to keep moving, and when we don’t move it, we’re not going to feel great.
Gabrielle Reece
382
The advent of digitally enhancing images – and the fact that actresses weren’t protesting against that – created an environment where big corporations felt like they had total ownership over the bodies of actresses.
Romola Garai
383
What’s interesting about science is that we’re constantly discovering new things about the universe, about ourselves, about our bodies, about diseases, about the possibilities of the future. It’s amazing. Science is one of the coolest things about being a human being – without a doubt.
Joe Rogan
384
For those men who, sooner or later, are lucky enough to break away from the pack, the most intoxicating moment comes when they cease being bodies in other men’s command and find that they control their own time, when they learn their own voice and authority.
Theodore White
385
More and more NFL players have been willing their bodies to science so that their brains can be studied even if they die of other causes.
Jeffrey Kluger
386
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle
387
I am not a trainer, hence I cannot advise youngsters on the use of supplements or the way to build their bodies. But I can tell them one thing that I did – find a good, honest trainer.
Ronnie Coleman
388
Women have been given these bodies to produce children, and the spirit and tenderness to take care of people around us. It’s fine to be an outspoken and working woman. I don’t want to be a man.
Lisa Haydon
389
And the more profoundly the science of biology reveals the laws of the life and development of living bodies, the more effective is the science of agronomy.
Trofim Lysenko
390
It’s an imaginative thing we do; it’s about immersing oneself in one’s imagination. If you’re a novelist, you do it with pen and paper. We do it with our bodies.
Rupert Friend
391
Fat women are the last minority. I think it’s the shape of our culture. What is to be admired is girls with the bodies of 14-year-old boys.
Conchata Ferrell
392
People don’t even understand that every bit of our food was once alive. We take another creature, plant, animal, microorganism, tear it apart in our mouths. And incorporate those molecules into our own bodies. We are the Earth in the most profound way.
David Suzuki
393
From an early age, I knew I would become a scientist. It may have been my brother Sam’s doing. He interested me in the laws of falling bodies when I was ten and helped my father equip a basement chemistry lab for me when I was fifteen. I became skilled in the synthesis of selenium halides.
Sheldon Lee Glashow
394
As football players, our bodies know exactly what time of year it is and what we need to be doing.
LaDainian Tomlinson
395
I love the physicality of instruments, and instruments as objects, like dancers are bodies.
Bryce Dessner
396
I wish we could treat our bodies as the place we live from, rather than regard it as a place to be worked on, as though it were a disagreeable old kitchen in need of renovation and update.
Susie Orbach
397
Our bodies are held captive, but our pursuit of freedom cannot be contained.
Joshua Wong
398
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
Charles Darwin
399
The main reasons for the growth and institutionalization of corruption are: a culture of secrecy with lack of transparency, and weak institutions for securing the accountability of public servants, such as the Vigilance bodies, the criminal investigative agencies and the judiciary.
Prashant Bhushan
400
So many of these decisions are made in a vacuum with a bunch of men sitting around a table deciding what a woman’s rights should be, what our access to health care, trying to control women by controlling our bodies.
Gretchen Whitmer
401
My hips will always lead in the downswing, and I’ll always fire off my right foot. I know Tiger and other big hitters keep their right foot down and mainly use their bodies to power through the ball, but I’m not Tiger’s size.
Xander Schauffele
402
Our minds want clothes as much as our bodies.
Samuel Butler
403
In effect, Saudi Arabia legitimizes fundamentalism, religious discrimination, intolerance and the oppression of women. Saudi women not only can’t drive, but are also told by some clerics that they mustn’t wear seatbelts for fear of showing the outlines of their bodies.
Nicholas Kristof
404
All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth – in a word, all those bodies which compose the frame of the world – have not any subsistence without a mind.
George Berkeley
405
One of the challenges with period costumes is, on a technical level, making the scale of different periods work on contemporary bodies. We’re much bigger than what people were in older times.
Colleen Atwood
406
If we could establish a deep abiding relationship with nature, we would never kill an animal for our appetite; we would never harm, vivisect, a monkey, a dog, a guinea pig for our benefit. We would find other ways to heal our wounds, heal our bodies.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
407
Ironically, it is when we identify with our spirits rather than our bodies that we are most powerful on the material plane. Our overidentification with the world does not give us power within the world so much as it diminishes our power here. It makes us frightened and nervous and full of anxiety.
Marianne Williamson
408
The American actor is much more used to being physically relaxed and using their bodies better, and English actors are a little bit unrelaxed, but they’re better at vocal technique.
Miriam Margolyes
409
The soul is part of the body. The mind is part of the body. When folks do physical violence to black people, to black bodies in this country, the soul as we construe it is damaged, too – the mind is damaged, too.
Ta-Nehisi Coates
410
I think that all bodies are beautiful in millions of different ways but I get down on myself too!
Margaret Cho
411
Many Nobel Prizes are awaiting good research to understand and explain the many mysteries of our bodies, such as the basic mechanism of memory or imagination.
John Cameron
412
But, if you observe children learning in their first few years of life, you can see that they can and do learn on their own – we leave them alone to crawl, walk, talk, and gain control over their bodies. It happens without much help from parents.
Daniel Greenberg
413
I wasn’t a kid who wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a doctor. I was kind of morbid. I was really into the body and how it could go wrong. I wanted to dig up bodies from the graveyard.
Jennifer Egan
414
If you observe children with sufficient objectivity as they grow into the world, then you will perceive that children’s temporal bodies are still not fully connected with the spirit-soul. The task of education, understood in a spiritual sense, is to bring the soul-spirit into harmony with the temporal body.
Rudolf Steiner
415
Transhumanism is the ethics and science of using things like biological and genetic engineering to transform our bodies and make us a more powerful species.
Dan Brown
416
I would love to work with the Coen brothers and Terrence Malick. I love both of their bodies of work so much, so I’m really interested in acting under their direction.
Erin Moriarty
417
Of all celestial bodies within reach or view, as far as we can see, out to the edge, the most wonderful and marvellous and mysterious is turning out to be our own planet earth. There is nothing to match it anywhere, not yet anyway.
Lewis Thomas
418
When you read about a car crash in which two or three youngsters are killed, do you pause to dwell on the amount of love and treasure and patience parents poured into bodies no longer suitable for open caskets?
Jim Bishop
419
Our body is part of nature. Our creations, they’re not natural. We build things that aren’t natural, but our bodies, they’re part of that system.
Ryuichi Sakamoto
420
We can’t ignore signals that our bodies are giving us when something is wrong.
Camille Grammer
421
The most important thing I learned is I have to get my body in shape, because those men look good. Not just the other quarterbacks – everyone. Their bodies look good.
Jameis Winston
422
Dancers are working their bodies just like a marathon runner would, and you have to eat to make it through a three-hour performance. Dancers put their bodies through incredible strain.
Darcey Bussell
423
Because trans people are marked as artificial, unnatural, and illegitimate, our bodies and identities are often open to public dissection. Plainly, cisgender folks often take it as their duty to investigate our lives to see if we’re real.
Janet Mock
424
I pray for everybody throughout the game, even my opponents. Outside of the game, we still have to live life, still have to lead normal lives, and we still need our bodies.
Marquise Goodwin
425
We can imagine our bodies being destroyed, our brains ceasing to function, our bones turning to dust, but it is harder – some would say impossible – to imagine the end of our very existence.
Paul Bloom
426
Men are naive to their bodies. They don’t pay attention to their skin like women do.
Bill Cowher
427
The squat is ideal for building strength in the glutes, perhaps the most powerful collection of muscles in our bodies.
Gabe Kapler
428
I’ve always hated modeling. It’s superficial and fake, and I hate to have to care about what I look like. I get a pimple and freak. The whole business is all about selling beautiful girls’ faces and bodies, so how can there be anything intelligent or nice about that except for the girl who makes money?
Paulina Porizkova
429
Our bodies must always be wherever that struggle and the moment we forget that, the moment we become lazy, the moment we sit back, then then the evil ones do their ordained tasks to us.
William Kunstler
430
I want to see definitions of what’s beautiful, compelling, palatable, marketable, sexy, and prestigious open up to a wider range of bodies, identities, and backgrounds.
Hari Nef
431
Our prisons are very bad. When I was in Ikoyi prison, people were dying every day. They were carrying bodies out of the prison every day.
Fela Kuti
432
Firms don’t just try to pay as little as possible to get the needed bodies on board; when there is unemployment, they ask themselves how wage cuts would affect the behavior of the employees. Would they quit or feel dissatisfied and work less hard on the firm’s behalf if they feel that wage policies are unfair?
Janet Yellen
433
I’ve never shown up to the set of ‘SNL’ or ‘Girls’ without having a million options for me to try on. They don’t bat an eye at my body or how to dress me because they dress all kinds of bodies as costumers.
Aidy Bryant
434
There are women who can make you feel more with their bodies and their souls, but these are the exact women who will turn the knife into you right in front of the crowd. Of course, I expect this, but the knife still cuts.
Charles Bukowski
435
I think that people should absolutely be allowed to do whatever they want with their bodies and to live the life they want to lead.
Elisabeth Moss
436
Our long history of exploiting women’s bodies and suppressing their voices had a direct impact on my case and other women’s lives.
Amanda Knox
437
I think a lot of women aren’t really sure about their bodies, so they don’t always get their fit right, whether it’s too tight and too sexy or way oversized and doesn’t show figure at all.
Christian Siriano
438
Politics is never about the people. It’s about money. And wars. And how many heads you can step on and bodies you can step over. And I’m just not that kind of person.
Gary Coleman
439
The body is a great machine, and it knows how to take care of itself. I think more often than not the things we do to our skin or our bodies can hold it back from doing its proper job.
Julia Roberts
440
I kind of viewed ’50/ 50′ and ‘Warm Bodies’ both as my next films after ‘The Wackness.’ In my head, I was just like, ‘I’ll try the big, fun, adventure-weird movie, and I’ll do the small, heartfelt comedy-drama, and one of them will probably work out, and I’ll get to work more.’
Jonathan Levine
441
Well, many Blacks who are vegan are vegan for health reasons. They believe in putting the right food in their bodies. And they are reluctant to be attached to some who have been extremely aggressive in the animal rights movement.
Eric Adams
442
I think that the ideal of men’s physiques in general, gay or straight, is one of the most under-talked-about things ever. Ninety-five percent of these bodies that we’re seeing, that we’re striving so hard to look like, are genetically engineered – like, let’s be very clear.
Jonathan Van Ness
443
The desire to live in our imagination is driven by this suspicion that we’re disembodied sensibilities cobbled into our bodies. That idea has infused most of human thought since the very beginning.
Richard Powers
444
No matter how civilized we are and how much society has curbed violent behavior. Human beings still have the same genes they had 10,000 years ago. Our bodies are designed to have a certain amount of physical stress and violence in them. We’re designed to run from jaguars and fight to defend our territory.
Joe Rogan
445
Very few people know what it’s like being onstage looking out at a sea of bodies.
Su-chin Pak
446
Yoga puts us back in touch with our bodies’ needs and equips us with the tools we already have: the intuition and awareness to nourish our bodies properly with wholesome, healthy foods. Yoga doesn’t show us how to starve ourselves. That is a terrible disorder, as terrible as overeating.
Tara Stiles
447
Eventually, the state’s funding covered only the stages leading to presenting a film project to potential funding bodies. It was enough to produce a script, indicate casting and put together a budget to present it all, but nothing beyond that.
Andrzej Wajda
448
It turns out that the very genes that turn on in cancer cells perform vital functions in normal cells. In other words, the very genes that allow our embryos to grow or our brains to grow, our bodies to grow, if you mutate them, if you distort them, then you unleash cancer.
Siddhartha Mukherjee
449
Especially as pro athletes, at the highest level, what we put into our bodies plays a huge part in our performance.
Andre Iguodala
450
Bombs do very, very bad things to human bodies. It’s incredibly shocking to see.
Phil Klay
451
But if cattle and horses or lions had hands, or were able to draw with their hands and do the work that men can do, horses would draw the forms of the gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make their bodies such as they each had themselves.
Xenophanes
452
The United States is, after all, supposed to be a free country – and it has never made any sense to me that choices about what to put into our own bodies aren’t ours and ours alone.
Kat Timpf
453
I initially became a trainer in 2002 to help people shape their bodies, to help them look the way they wanted to look. This would reflect the way I was living. I was focusing on the exterior. Then in 2003/4, I had a paradigm shift. I started a business for bariatric patients, pre- and post-gastric bypass.
Jessie Pavelka
454
Babies have big heads and big eyes, and tiny little bodies with tiny little arms and legs. So did the aliens at Roswell! I rest my case.
William Shatner
455
I use the term ‘disabled people’ quite deliberately, because I subscribe to what’s called the social model of disability, which tells us that we are more disabled by the society that we live in than by our bodies and our diagnoses.
Stella Young
456
What’s very interesting is that when we look at human bodies, we look at our body as a singular entity when it turns out, no, if I could reduce us to a small size as the size of a cell and put you inside your body, rather than seeing a singular entity, what you would see is a metropolis with 50 trillion citizens.
Bruce Lipton
457
No more bare bodies in film scenes for me. For my children’s sake, I must stop. The other kids at school keep throwing it up to my children, and they are not kind.
Ellen Barkin
458
Fundamentally speaking, bodies age; feelings don’t.
Ram Gopal Varma
459
No matter how you measure it, whether you measure the amount of mass or you measure the number of bodies, most of our solar system exists out beyond the orbits of the asteroids. So we could not have claimed to know our own solar system until Voyager had toured the giant planets.
Carolyn Porco
460
Our bodies are constantly giving us signals about what we can and cannot handle. It’s when we choose to ignore them that we can get overworked and be forced to sit out for a while.
Christina Anstead
461
In essence, Clinton’s Anti-Terrorism Act would set up a national police force, over the long-dead bodies of the founders.
Gore Vidal
462
We shouldn’t force ourselves to do something that really is just painful to us. If there is a discrepancy between what we are doing or putting our bodies through and then what our minds are telling us, you really have to look at yourself, and the most essential part of it is the pleasure aspect.
David Belle
463
I’m a spokesperson, and advocate of awareness. So when anything comes up on our bodies – if it’s skin cancer or a bump or something we’re not certain of – we need to see our doctors.
Camille Grammer
464
Our bodies hold so much tension and resentment and sadness, so if we don’t move it out of the body, we stay stuck in those negative patterns.
Gabrielle Bernstein
465
It’s just as important to work on the little muscle groups as well as the big muscle groups. People, when they train, go to gyms. I call them ‘nightclub bodies’ – ginormous up top, and legs are little sticks. You see a lot of people, and they forget you can’t leave the little muscles behind.
Misty May-Treanor
466
Lincoln merely nominally freed the bodies of Negroes. But Debs would free the bodies and minds of Negroes.
A. Philip Randolph
467
Our bodies are finely tuned machines, and if our hormone mixtures aren’t ‘just right’, everything goes into disrepair.

When you watch the old NBA, one thing is for sure, you will see more fights, a little more talking, bigger guys, bigger bodies.
Shawn Kemp

In my head, I could never imagine that I could be an actress. I always thought actresses were meant to be perfect and that they would have perfect bodies with all the nakhras.
Zareen Khan

Our state of mind affects completely how we treat our bodies.
Tara Stiles
471
Strong communities are built around local, real food. Food we trust to nourish our bodies, the farmer and planet.
Kimbal Musk
472
Victoria’s Secret should highlight real women that actually purchase their clothing. I would love for them to start featuring more real bodies and diverse women. Victoria’s Secret has the ability to tell people, ‘It’s okay,’ when they wake up in the morning. They have the ability to change lives.
Rain Dove
473
Many women find long, lean sexy legs hard to get. One reason is that before menopause, most of us store a disproportionate amount of fat in our lower bodies, particularly in our hips and thighs.
Denise Austin
474
People don’t necessarily expect singles from me. They expect full bodies of work.
Big K.R.I.T.
475
Shopping is a great way to bond with the girls, but it definitely makes us focus on our bodies and compare ourselves to others. Something that should be a fun outing with the girls can turn into an uncomfortable experience.
Katherine Schwarzenegger
476
I’ve been ostracized before in legislative bodies for voting against the majority. That doesn’t bother me.
Terry Sanford
477
Modern medicine has presented us with a Faustian bargain: Our aging bodies can bankrupt our children and grandchildren. We have run into the ‘law of diminishing returns’ in health care, where we are often doing more and more, with higher and higher technology, at more and more cost, for less and less benefit.
Richard Lamm
478
Every single sport works out your body in a different way, and you can almost point out their bodies – like, that’s a swimmer, that’s a football player.
Jessie James Decker
479
Being pregnant is the most natural thing our bodies can do. Our grandparents did it without all these books, and they came out okay.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler
480
Our regulatory bodies strive to create honest dealings, fair trades, and a situation in which no one has an advantage over anyone else. But human beings aren’t honest. And all trades are made because one person thinks he’s getting the better of the other, and the other person thinks the same.
P. J. O’Rourke
481
You can see the absence of women in governing bodies from Congress to state legislators, on corporate boards, in tenured positions in academia, and as forepeople in factories.
Gloria Steinem
482
I wanted to be a pilot, but I was always drawing bodies. When I realised I wanted to pursue something creative, my parents pushed me towards architecture.
Hussein Chalayan
483
The only dead bodies from marijuana are in the prisons and at the hands of the police. This is ridiculous.
Jack Herer
484
Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it’s inside out, red.
Anish Kapoor
485
Public schools are not simply being corporatized, they are also subjected increasingly to a militarizing logic that disciplines the bodies of young people, especially low income and poor minorities, and shapes their desires and identities in the service of military values and social relations.
Henry Giroux
486
There’s something about us as stand-ups that when we’re on our feet, we feel more in control of the situation and in control of our bodies and our delivery.
Michelle Wolf
487
People would ask me to autograph their bodies and then the next time I’d see them on tour they’d have my autograph tattooed. I decided I wouldn’t write on people anymore, but I’d give them arms and legs and if they wanted those autographed I’d do that.
Chuck Palahniuk
488
When I asked what people would change about their bodies on Twitter, the birthing process was an extremely popular response!
Alice Roberts
489
I think exercise is so important. Yes, as women we are multi-taskers, but we have to take care of our bodies.
Catherine Cortez-Masto
490
Only three per cent of people are born with a disability; the rest acquire it through accident or illness, but people come out of it. Thanks to medical advances, bodies heal.
Esther McVey
491
I think that a lot of women experience that balance between feeling insecure about and appreciative for their bodies. I definitely have.
Christen Press
492
While American football is very structured and linear and static – where everyone lines up, and there’s a burst, and it happens – soccer is like the cosmos. It’s like constellations. It’s bodies moving in space. It’s a very spherical game.
Gabriel Luna
493
We all want love and to feel safe, wanted, cared for, to like our selves, our bodies, to have families and feel okay in the world.
Amanda de Cadenet
494
The pro-life movement is and has been led by women for decades. The history of the movement shows this, despite the current narrative about men ‘controlling’ or making laws about women’s bodies.
Katie Pavlich
495
I see guys who are in the gym all the time, but their bodies are not a reflection of that. They look the same from year to year, and that has to do with the fact that they’re not evaluating the effect of their efforts.
Phil Heath
496
It’s an individual’s choice to do whatever they please to their own bodies. However I have a massive problem with the notion that people think it’s okay telling young people that they need Botox and fillers.
Stacey Solomon
497
According to an ancient Sardinian legend, the bodies of those who are born on Christmas Eve will never dissolve into dust but are preserved until the end of time.
Grazia Deledda
498
Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.
Thomas Dekker
499
From the day of the Declaration, the people of the North American union, and of its constituent states, were associated bodies of civilized men and Christians, in a state of nature, but not of anarchy.
John Quincy Adams

Stress happens. In different ways, we all hold unnecessary tension in our bodies all day long. Shoulders, neck, wrists, hips, hamstrings, back, oh my!
Tara Stiles
501
The only way to really portray a character and tell a story well is to be flexible internally. And one of the ways we’re blocked as actors is being aware of where our bodies are carrying tension.
Kristin Lehman
502
Girls shouldn’t drink because their bodies are not made for drinking and smoking.
Rakul Preet Singh
503
When you realize that we’re the spirit that’s in our bodies and our bodies are like the vehicles that take us around, you realize that you have to take care of that body.
Melissa Etheridge
504
Medicine involves dealing with people who are going through changes and cycles, often people trapped in bodies that are going out from under them. Spending time with them lets you think their way, gives you insights as a writer.
Ethan Canin
505
It’s just important for me to be healthy and just to take care of my body. Fans will appreciate the sacrifices we make with our bodies but I was just working a little more hurt than I should.
Matt Sydal
506
The Father’s plan is designed to provide direction for His children, to help them become happy, and to bring them safely home to Him with resurrected, exalted bodies. Heavenly Father desires us to be together in the light and filled with hope.
David A. Bednar
507
To me and to a number of other activists from the U.S., we believe that the human rights movement has to evolve and understand the global implications of structural racism. This means engaging the United Nations and a variety of other human rights bodies.
Opal Tometi
508
To be really happy, we must throw our hearts over the bar and hope that our bodies will follow.
Graham Taylor
509
A smartphone links patients’ bodies and doctors’ computers, which in turn are connected to the Internet, which in turn is connected to any smartphone anywhere. The new devices could put the management of an individual’s internal organs in the hands of every hacker, online scammer, and digital vandal on Earth.
Charles C. Mann
510
Social Security was designed to give a few years of modest benefits to people whose bodies were worn out through coal mining, factory work and other physically demanding labor.
Louis Navellier
511
I love women’s bodies. I love luxury.
Victoria Beckham
512
I like words. Words are places, rooms, distant airs, thin and tropical. They make us feel and imagine we are more than our bodies.
Rickie Lee Jones
513
Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspired.
Homer
514
We have seen the damage already caused to the music industry and we have to continue to make the public and government bodies globally aware of the damage that will happen if DVD piracy is not brought under control.
Callum McDougall
515
When we die, our spirits go to the spirit world, and our bodies return to the elements of the earth until the resurrection.
John Bytheway
516
Women think with their whole bodies and they see things as a whole more than men do.
Dorothy Day
517
Female artists are the perfect example of a creator: They know how to make life and art with their bodies. Life comes from their bodies, so on a very basic level, they have more to write about.
Brandon Boyd
518
What we eat will tell everything when it comes to our bodies, our skin, our hair, how we feel, your endurance for things.
Rozonda Thomas
519
Staying grounded, eating healthy, doing yoga, staying out of the sun to protect my skin – I think that the daily decisions we make to protect our bodies are the best ways we can care for them.
Christen Press
520
Sometimes you just need bodies in the squad.
Steve Nicol
521
We all know the difference between sports entertainment and the combat sports that I call, but at the end of the day, they are all spawned from the same source, and there’s a lot of mutual respect between the two bodies.
Mauro Ranallo
522
I feel truth, beauty, love, grief, anger, intimacy & alive in my body… Women in the global south live in their bodies much more than we in the global north. Not as distracted by patriarchy’s controlling images – They know power is in their bodies. I am deeply grateful for the women who showed me the way home.
Jodie Evans
523
The idea of a physical stigma is quite appealing. When I wrote the book of ‘Bodies,’ there was a lot of that in the book about how there are physical manifestations of psychological problems – I think it’s described as ‘Narrativizing The Body.’
Jed Mercurio
524
Light helps the body predict the future: it’s a sign of how our environment will change in the coming hours and days, and our bodies prepare themselves accordingly.
Maria Konnikova
525
Our current way of regulating the financial system is dysfunctional. Oversight is dispersed among numerous confusing bodies that at times have seemed to be racing each other to the bottom. Setting up One Big Regulator would end that problem.
Thomas Frank
526
‘Ain’t Them Bodies Saints’ wound up becoming a love story even though it was not initially meant to be one.
David Lowery
527
One of the things I learned on medical drama ‘Bodies’ was that actors can’t play ambiguity.
Jed Mercurio
528
I try to write about how we live today, how we use language, technology, our bodies.
Dana Spiotta
529
I personally believe that any country that has a nuclear program should conform to international regulations and should have international regulatory bodies that check to make sure that any nuclear program moves in the right direction.
Abdullah II of Jordan
530
The egg of every species of animal or plant carries a definite number of bodies called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes.
Thomas Hunt Morgan
531
Players want to get better with their skill set and 3-point shooting, ballhandling, their bodies, whatever it is, but everything starts with a sense of urgency.
Dwane Casey
532
I was a dancer, so I always loved watching girls perform and dance and just always looked up to them and their bodies.
Camille Kostek
533
I see no reason why the Shias should be debarred from having their voice in the elected bodies and governmental institutions in any matter which affect the Shias. We must so organise the Muslim League that justice is done to every sect and section inside it.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
534
It is fatal for any body of workers to have forever hanging from the fringes of its skirts other bodies on a level just below its own; for that means continual pressure downward, additional difficulty to be overcome in the struggle to maintain reasonable rates of wages.
Florence Kelley
535
We know more about our credit cards than we know about our bodies.
Elizabeth Holmes
536
Marriage is an indissoluble state of life wherein a man and a woman agree to give each other power over their bodies for the begetting, birth, and upbringing of offspring.
Vincent McNabb
537
A lot of men just don’t understand what it’s like to be a woman and how much our bodies mean and what they can be and how much power they can yield, and how much we’re shamed for them.
Kate Nash
538
I experienced many moments when we were able to overcome language barriers. When they like something during our shows, American audiences would tend to show our fox signs or move their bodies.
Yui Mizuno
539
One thing I struggle with is competing, being in a pack, running with a lot of bodies.
Mary Cain
540
Innumerable lovers of Hindi cinema have lit up the big screen. But on screen, they are just two beautiful bodies. They have no caste nor religion. The love that our filmmakers imagined was little more than make-believe.
Ravish Kumar
541
We are the spirit children of a Heavenly Father. He loved us and He taught us before we were born into this world. He told us that He wished to give us all that He had. To qualify for that gift we had to receive mortal bodies and be tested. Because of those mortal bodies, we would face pain, sickness, and death.
Henry B. Eyring
542
Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.
William Osler
543
Speaking positively about our bodies is as essential as the physical activity we engage in.
Mandy Ingber
544
On reaching the place where the Indians had surprised us, we found the bodies of the three men whom they had killed and scalped, and literally cut into pieces.
Buffalo Bill
545
I do not understand why we are not raised to celebrate our bodies as children. Why we are told to be shy or awkward or self-conscious.
Karan Johar
546
In Haiti, beach bodies are simply bodies, and beach reads are simply books, because the beach is all around you.
Roxane Gay
547
Our mental state fuels our emotions, and our bodies reflect those emotions.
Mandy Ingber
548
I used to always like the tag teams because you can do, to me, more entertaining, cooler, crazier stuff when there’s more bodies in the ring.
Xavier Woods
549
It’s awkward: Here you are with most of your clothes off in bed with this person who you’ve really just met. You’re strangers to each other’s bodies and you’re coming together for the first time in front of all these people.
Sheryl Lee
550
A number of immunisation programmes are funded and announced by the government and international bodies, but little thought goes into the injecting or delivery mechanism.
Marc Koska
551
My dream of society is a society where women are free and proud of their bodies.
Najat Vallaud-Belkacem
552
The right thing is to look after people and women and women’s rights to their own bodies.
Tom Payne
553
Except for certain moments – when cells are dividing, for instance – chromosomes don’t form compact, countable bodies inside cells. Instead, they unravel and flop about, which makes counting chromosomes a bit like counting strands of ramen in a bowl.
Sam Kean
554
The number of cells in our bodies is defined by an equilibrium of opposing forces: mitosis adds cells, while programmed cell death removes them. Just as too much cell division can lead to a pathological increase in cell number, so can too little cell death.
H. Robert Horvitz
555
Being asked to support humane meat means being asked to support the suffering of animals in transport, to approve of treatment that causes them palpable fear, their bodies shaking and their eyes wide as saucers, as they are slung by their legs into crates that are slammed onto the back of a truck.
Ingrid Newkirk
