Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or anthropology:

    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)

    History is, strictly speaking, the study of questions; the study of answers belongs to anthropology and sociology.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
