“In weightlessness, one of the physiological changes is a fluid shift. Your blood and fluid is equally distributed in your body. So that makes your calves and thighs and waist skinnier, and it makes your chest and women's breasts broader. The downside is your face is kind of puffy” KindBodyFacesBloodYour BodyBreastsChestsYour FaceFluidThighsCalvesPhysiologicalWeightlessness Author:Mike Mullane
“If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - What would you tell him?" I…don't know. What…could he do? What would you tell him?"

“I believe there are techniques of the human mind whereby, in its dark deep, problems are examined, rejected or accepted. Such activities sometimes concern facets a man does not know he has. How often one goes to sleep troubled and full of pain, not knowing what causes the travail, and in the morning a whole new direction and a clearness is there, maybe the results of the black reasoning. And again there are mornings when ecstasy bubbles in the blood, and the stomach and chest are tight and electric with joy, and nothing in the thoughts to justify it or cause it.” KnowsMenMindBelieveHumansDoeSometimesWholeProblemPainJoyI BelieveCausesBlackDarkSleepResultsMorningKnowingBloodActivityConcernTechniqueAcceptedReasoningJustifyHuman MindChestsEcstasyStomachBubblesElectricNot KnowingRejectedFacetsNew DirectionsClearness Book:East of Eden Source: East of Eden
“Inside me is the same desperate hope I have watching the ravenous dead and thinking, Oh please, oh please, oh please. The craving inside of me is to be clutched at by some dead girl. To put my ear to her chest and hear nothing. Even getting munched on by zombies beats the idea that I'm only flesh and blood, skin and bone. Demon or angel or evil spirit, I just need something to show itself. Ghoulie or ghosty or long-legged beastie, I just want my hand held.” ThinkingWantNeedsLongIdeasShowsHandsSpiritGirlEvilBloodPleaseBeatsAngelSkinsEarsBonesFleshDemonDesperateChestsZombieCravingFlesh And BloodEvil SpiritsSkin And Bones Author:Chuck Palahniuk
“I used many times to touch my own chest and feel, under its asthmatic quiver, the engine of the heart and lungs and blood and feel amazed at what I sensed was the enormity of the power I possessed. Not magical power, but real power. The power simply to go on, the power to endure, that is power enough, but I felt I had also the power to create, to add, to delight, to amaze and to transform.” FeelsHeartRealEnoughUsedFeltMy OwnBloodGoes OnAddEndureDelightChestsEnginesPossessedAmazedLungsReal PowerQuiver Author:Stephen Fry
“I used to have a cat, an old fighting tom, who would jump through the open window by my bed in the middle of the night and land on my chest. I'd half-awaken. He'd stick his skull under my nose and purr, stinking of urine and blood. Some nights he kneaded my bare chest with his front paws, powerfully, arching his back, as if sharpening his claws, or pummeling a mother for milk. And some mornings I'd wake in daylight to find my body covered with paw prints in blood; I looked as though I'd been painted with roses.” IfsBodyUsedMotherNightFightingHalfMorningBloodLandMiddleFrontsBedCatWindowRoseSticksNosesPrintCoveredChestsMilkTomsSkullsDaylightClawsMiddle Of The NightPawsSharpeningPaw Prints Book:PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK Source: PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK
