And If the surgeon is like a poet, then the scars you have made on countless bodies are like verses into the fashioning of which you have poured your soul.
The disciplinary power that inscribes femininity in the female body is everywhere and it is nowhere; the disciplinarian is everyone and yet no one in particular.
Every music - except dance music, which is for dancing, I suppose - is for the spirit of the human being, and not for the body.
The human heart would never pass the drunk test. . . . If you took the human heart out of the human body and put a pair of legs on it and told it to walk a straight line, it couldn't do it.
I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body.
Excess is excrement,. . . Excrement retained in the body is a poison.
I feel like my body doesn't judge the hours, you know? It doesn't care if it's daytime or nighttime.
This is my body. It is no one's but mine.
I always thought of my career as a body of work and not just about numbers.
We are like an atomic structure. We've got a causal body that's linked together.

I don't enjoy the diminishing agility of the body!I had knee surgery and I no longer can go do three yoga classes and run. It's not as much fun, physically. But emotionally, it's way more fun. I am so much happier and contented and less agitated - I'm just calmer. So it's like everything in this human existence, it's a trade off - it's like you trade the virility of the body for the agility of the spirit. That's a good line. I have to remember that!
And she knew without opening her eyes that it was Daniel. No other body in the universe fit hers so well.
I can't move my body slowly. I can't move the line slowly. So I end up with way too much, often opaque to me later.
I told you I set no limits on my love for you. I don't. Yet I have never expected you to offer me your body. It was the whole of your heart, all for myself, that I sought. Even though I've never had a right to it. For you gave it away ere ever you saw me.
