Famous quotes containing the word physical:
“The real pleasure of being Mick Jagger was in having everything but being tempted by nothing ... a smouldering ill will which silk clothes, fine food, wine, women, and every conceivable physical pampering somehow aggravated ... a drained and languorous, exquisitely photogenic ennui.”
—Anonymous Chronicler. Quoted in Philip Norman, The Life and Good Times of the Rolling Stones (1989)
