“Ninety percent of our lives is governed by emotion. Our brains merely register and act upon what is telegraphed to them by our bodily experience. Intellect is to emotion as our clothes are to our bodies; we could not very well have civilized life without clothes, but we would be in a poor way if we had only clothes without bodies.” IfsWayWellsBodyWould BeLife IsPoorEmotionBrainOur LivesClothesPercentIntellectCivilizedNinetyRegister Author:Alfred North Whitehead
“Every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche. Just as the human body connects us with the mammals and displays numerous relics of earlier evolutionary stages going back to even the reptilian age, so the human psyche is likewise a product of evolution which, when followed up to its origins, show countless archaic traits.” MenHumansStillsShowsBodyAgeHuman BeingsLevelsStageProductsDevelopmentEvolutionConsciousDeeperCivilizedDisplayTraitsHuman BodyMemories Dreams ReflectionsRelicsMammalsHuman Psyche Author:Carl Jung
“The legislator commands the future; to be feeble will avail him nothing: it is for him to will what is good and to perpetuate it; to make man what he desires to be: for the laws, working upon the social body, which is inert in itself, can produce either virtue or crime, civilized customs or savagery.” MenBodyLawDesireSocialVirtueCrimeProduceCommandCivilizedCustomsLegislatorsSavagery Author:Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
“In the midst of all these innumerable forms of a common protest and universal ill-ease there has grown up one definite body of doctrine whose adherents are called Communists and who desired the total subversion of what had been, hitherto unquestioned among civilized European men, the general doctrines of property and individual freedom.” MenWisdomBodyFormPoliticsIndividualCommonEconomyUniversalPropertyIllDoctrineEaseLiberalismProtestMidstCivilizedCommunistDefiniteIndividual FreedomSubversion Author:Hilaire Belloc
“Like the Pentagon, our social science often reduces all phenomena to dollars and body counts. Sexuality, family unity, kinship, masculine solidarity, maternity, motivation, nurturing, all the rituals of personal identity and development, all the bonds of community, seem "sexist," "superstitious," "mystical," "inefficient," "discriminatory." And, of course, they are -- and they are also indispensable to a civilized society.” BodySeemsMotivationCoursesSocialCommunityIdentityDevelopmentDollarsUnitySexualityCivilizedRitualSolidarityMysticalIndispensableMasculineNurturingSuperstitiousSexistKinshipPentagonSocial ScienceCivilized SocietyMaternityPersonal Identity Book:Sexual suicide Source: Sexual suicide
