There are so many – namely black and brown bodies – who have experienced a different America than what the mainstream American flag symbolizes.
Physiology is the science which treats of the properties of organic bodies, animal and vegetable, of the phenomena they present, and of the laws which govern their actions. Inorganic substances are the objects of other sciences, – physics and chemistry.
I believe that a lot of what we put in our bodies really can harm us. It’s been proven that people who eat Mediterranean and Japanese diets live for a very long time.
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.
Our bodies are exploited so much in the media, I feel like everyone is made to feel like they’re not worthy or beautiful.
We’re taught as a society what is acceptable for women to look like and what’s not. And where fat should be and shouldn’t. And I think it’s important to sometimes reprogram ourselves and recondition ourselves to not have so much negativity toward our own bodies.
I’m blessed with nice legs, but I see lots of guys with big upper bodies and pencil legs.
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.

I think it’s so important to think about the basic human rights of others and to use our collective voices, minds and bodies to lift those people up and bring about change.
As women, we understand our bodies, and there’s a blossoming that occurs. We’re hungry for gourmet meals instead of the fast food. We bring to life a more expansive understanding of life, ourselves, and others. We are more generous and assertive.
When a team goes down to 10 men, it makes you go and attack the game, push bodies forward, and create extra numbers.

The true scientist no longer attempts to disprove the pull of gravity, or the rotation of the earth, or the motion of heavenly bodies, or the sequence of the seasons, or man’s need of food and water, or the function of the heart.
Women’s bodies have become a real battleground for politics.
In bodies moved, the motion is received, increased, diminished, or lost, according to the relations of the quantity of matter and velocity; each diversity is uniformity, each change is constancy.
My tattoo is of a cannon in Vancouver that I got in a fleeting moment of stupidity maybe 14 years ago. A lot of people have really beautiful tattoos, and I get real tattoo envy. But then other people basically just treat them like bumper stickers for their bodies.
Wrestlers give their bodies to their work. I don’t know if I like the word ‘crazy’ here. What I would say is there are people who have a different relationship to their bodies than most people.
The problem with these UFC fighters – and they’re all fantastic athletes, top of the line in the entire world – is that they wear their bodies down in these training camps. All these guys that are cutting weight are just destroying their own bodies.
All bodies can’t be same, my body will react differently tours.
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.

Let’s clean up our environment. Let’s clean up our bodies, but most importantly, let’s not permit our babies of the future to be polluted before they are even born.
We women are constantly at war with our bodies, it is hard to find amnesty for ourselves.
My own recipe for longevity includes considerable amounts of fruits and vegetables. An additional major responsibility for the maintenance of our bodies is regular exercise; at least 4 to 5 times a week.
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.
A state should protect citizens in general and women in particular. And in the 21st Century, every society needs to respect the individual choice of its members to decide freely about their bodies.
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.

The thing is the game is getting tougher and tougher and we have to ask a lot of our bodies.
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.
The only dead bodies from marijuana are in the prisons and at the hands of the police. This is ridiculous.
I like a really natural looking body, so I’m not into muscles and looking like you just did 1,000 pull-ups and sit-ups and like you only eat lean turkey. That’s not for me. I just like people to look like people, and so I think it’s really attractive when men don’t have perfect bodies.

Darwin wasn’t just provocative in saying that we descend from the apes – he didn’t go far enough. We are apes in every way, from our long arms and tailless bodies to our habits and temperament.
At drama school we were encouraged to keep fit and healthy, but not to bulk out. We were told to stay lithe to allow our bodies to morph when we’re playing various parts. Running is ideal for this, especially when I needed a lean look for the Channel 4 drama ‘Cucumber.’
Actually, Nicole Holofcener’s movies have always felt really right to me. ‘Lovely & Amazing’ is a movie about women’s bodies that I feel is so truthful and painful and real.
