Famous quotes containing the words student and/or body:
“In the student sensuality is a sluggish habit of mind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Industrial societies turn their citizens into image-junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution. Poignant longings for beauty, for an end to probing below the surface, for a redemption and celebration of the body of the world. Ultimately, having an experience becomes identical with taking a photograph of it.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
