“Not fat but the greatest possible suppleness and strength is what a good dancer wants from his nourishment—and I could not even guess what the spirit of a philosopher might wish to be more than a good dancer. For dance is his ideal, and also his art, and finally also his only piety, his “service to God.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“The theologian considers sin mainly as an offence against God; the moral philosopher as contrary to reasonableness.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
