“Let us be satisfied simply with what sustains our present life, not with what pampers it. Let us pray to God for this, as we have been taught, so that we may keep our souls unenslaved and absolutely free from domination by any of the visible things loved for the sake of the body. Let us show that we eat for the sake of living, and not be guilty of living for the sake of eating. The first is a sign of intelligence, the second proof of its absence.” FirstsMayHas BeensSoulShowsBodyChristianTaughtPrayingEatingSakeProofAbsenceSatisfiedGuiltyVisibleOrthodoxDominationPraying To GodPresent Life Author:Maximus the Confessor
“Ambitious young women today are taught to ignore or suppress every natural instinct, if it conflicts with the feminist agenda posed on them. All literary and artistic works, no matter how great, that document the ambivalence of female sexuality they are trained to dismiss as "misogynous." In other words, their minds are being programmed to secede from their bodies ... there is a huge gap between feminist rhetoric and women's actual sex lives, where feminism is of little help except with a certain stratum of deferential, malleable, white middle-class men.” IfsMenMindLittlesMatterHelpingBodyTodayYoungCertainSexNaturalWhiteClassFeminismMiddleTaughtHugeConflictFemaleInstinctFeministSexualityArtisticMiddle ClassAgendasGapsAmbitiousRhetoricYoung WomenDocumentsAmbivalenceFemale SexualityNatural InstinctLittle Help Author:Camille Paglia
“We know today about nutrition and we know about exercise. There's no reason for anybody to be sick and tired, fat and out of shape -- it's ridiculous! This has got to be taught in the schools.

“The most important things in life can't be seen with the eyes. Ideas can't be seen. Love can't be seen. Honor can't be seen. This isn't a new concept. Judaism and Christianity and Islam and Buddhism and Taoism have all taught for thousands of years that the highest forms of reality are invisible. God is invisible, and he created the universe. Our souls are invisible, and they give life to our bodies. Angels are invisible, and they're the most powerful of God's creatures.” GivingYearsImportantIdeasSoulBodyRealityEyeFormUniversePowerfulChristianityTaughtBuddhismHonorCreaturesHighestConceptsAngelImportant ThingsIslamInvisibleTaoismMost PowerfulThings In LifeJudaismMost Important Things In LifeChristianity And Islam Book:Angels All Around Us: A Sightseeing Guide to the Invisible World Source: Angels All Around Us: A Sightseeing Guide to the Invisible World
“There is no absolute up or down, as Aristotle taught; no absolute position in space; but the position of a body is relative to that of other bodies. Everywhere there is incessant relative change in position throughout the universe, and the observer is always at the center of things.” BodyUniverseSpaceAtheismPositionTaughtAbsolutesPositive AtheismRelativeObserversIncessant Author:Giordano Bruno

“The very essence of gravity was design, and, consequently, deceit; it was a taught trick to gain credit of the world for more sense end knowledge than a man was worth; and that with all its pretensions it was no better, but often worse, than what a French wit had long ago defined it--a mysterious carriage of the body to cover the defects of the mind.” MenWorldMindLongEndsBodyDesignTaughtGainsEssenceCreditWitTricksMysteriousDefinedDeceitGravityLong AgoDefectsPretensionCarriages Book:The Works of Laurence Sterne, in One Volume Source: The Works of Laurence Sterne, in One Volume
