Superhuman Form

Famous quotes containing the words superhuman and/or form:

“Woman ... cannot be content with health and agility: she must make exorbitant efforts to appear something that never could exist without a diligent perversion of nature. Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate?”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“Thought is the seed of action; but action is as much its second form as thought is its first.”
