Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
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.
We have dresses that I actually think look better if you have more of a bust or more of a hip… or whatever it is. That’s why, in a collection, it should be as diverse as you can be. I think there should be options for a lot of different types of bodies and women.
I learned to cook because I want to know about the food and the ingredients going into my family’s bodies.
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.
For a lot of players, it’s not that they don’t want to play anymore or that they get tired of it or bored of it. It’s that their bodies give out.
Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it’s inside out, red.
We know the transfer market is not an easy period for players, for their minds, for their preparations, too, for their bodies.
There are women who literally squeeze a baby out of their bodies or get cut open in major surgery, have a human being, the next generation of the human race pulled from their bodies, and within a couple of weeks have to go back to work, because if they don’t, they can’t pay their bills. Something’s wrong with that.
Aging bodies are fiscal black holes into which you can pour endless amounts of money.
So with the skinnier guys, you definitely want to make sure you get a body on them; that’s how you take away big guy’s length, by getting into their bodies.
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?
Herve has that sex appeal. Certain bodies need Herve Leger badly because you have to reformulate the silhouette.
Graham may have wanted integration, but instead, he promoted gradualism and provided absolution for racists hiding behind a Christianity attuned not only to Jesus but also focused on regulating behavior and black bodies.
Emotionally men and women are different, but only as a result of the physical differences. It all comes back to our bodies.
The ballet makes us look at those bodies, it makes us listen to that music, it makes us wonder at the geometry, of the way they come together. The way that extraordinary space is controlled and given such emotional force.
For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.
I sometimes feel that we are losing an intuitive sense of our own bodies.
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.
We’ll continue to heal human bodies through biotechnology but we’ll also increasingly feed, clothe and house the world through bioengineered systems. Ultimately, there’s no reason why live animals should be used in any part of our food or goods chain and we’re working to make that a reality.
Once DNA acquires the ability to persist forever, the carriers become disposable. Essentially, our bodies are designed to last long enough to reproduce.
Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspired.
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.
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.
I have found that, in the composition of the human body as compared with the bodies of animals, the organs of sense are duller and coarser. Thus, it is composed of less ingenious instruments, and of spaces less capacious for receiving the faculties of sense.
If ever we had proof that our nation’s pollution laws aren’t working, it’s reading the list of industrial chemicals in the bodies of babies who have not yet lived outside the womb.
I want to stay active. I want to find that mind-body connection every single day, and I want other people to have that because we spend our lives on our phones, at our desks. We’re not thinking about our bodies and the mental connections we should be having, and those moments help us push through to live our best life.
It’s interesting: I think, genetically, there are people who need different things, like exercise. I need the exercise, others not so much, and I think more and more, we’ll start to understand why people’s bodies function in certain ways.
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.
My band and I, we cover our bodies in hairspray and glitter. We use the hairspray to make sure the glitter sticks.
Women’s bodies are amazing; what our bodies can do is incredible, so it’s sad that we get distracted – all this stuff about being skinny, be this, be that – they’re all distractions.
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.
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.
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.
I have often thought that one of the less attractive traits of various professional bodies and institutions is the deeply ingrained suspicion and outright hostility which can exist towards anything unorthodox or unconventional.
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.
I do not believe that government should be in the business of telling women what they should do with their bodies.
For them who delay aging, who infuse decrepit bodies with youth and beauty – they must rejoice in the fullness of their deeds.
Because I’ve been around the MMA block a little bit, I’m at a point now where I just want bodies to beat up. I’m past the point in my career where I’m picking and choosing.
I began to encounter real-life stories of dogs protecting their wounded or dying or dead handler… or dogs refusing to leave the bodies of the people they were bonded to, sitting in cemeteries for days or sometimes weeks. You find these stories endlessly.
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.
The other girls were so comfortable with their bodies and it eventually rubbed off on me.
Men are naive to their bodies. They don’t pay attention to their skin like women do.
It makes me sad that corporations and media and Hollywood conspire to make people feel terrible about their bodies from the second they wake up, so I sort of try to subversively undercut that.
To be really happy, we must throw our hearts over the bar and hope that our bodies will follow.
Our bodies are the subject of many experiments, but these experiments on the space station sometimes take years because in order for a scientist to get 10 data points, that can take six or seven years.
Women are put in a position of feeling embarrassed about their bodies. It’s so ridiculous, but also astounding – we have to always be apologetic about having created the human race.
Dancing is hard on all bodies, but I particularly kept getting injured.
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.
I think that a lot of women experience that balance between feeling insecure about and appreciative for their bodies. I definitely have.
Social media has been both damaging and beneficial in terms of how we view our bodies.
Our bodies are machines and have to be functional, and to do that they have to be fed properly.
I think we actually punish children out of their relationship with their bodies… we categorically separate mind and body and emotion and intellect.
Women think with their whole bodies and they see things as a whole more than men do.
