Famous quotes containing the word body:

    “Poetry and music I have banished,
    But the stupidity
    Of root, shoot, blossom or clay
    Makes no demand.
    I bend my body to the spade
    Or grope with a dirty hand.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The will to change begins in the body not in the mind
    My politics is in my body, accruing and expanding with every act of resistance and each of my failures.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “See an old unhappy bull,
    Sick in soul and body both,
    Slouching in the undergrowth
    Of the forest beautiful,”
    —Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)
