Exertion/physical

Famous quotes containing the words exertion and/or physical:

“Labor came to humanity with the fall from grace and was at best a penitential sacrifice enabling purity through humiliation. Labor was toil, distress, trouble, fatigue—an exertion both painful and compulsory. Labor was our animal condition, struggling to survive in dirt and darkness.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)

“The physical world is meaningless tonight
And there is no other.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
