“We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... The exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... It is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.” NeedsShouldBodyFormCausesImpossibleEffectsInformationObjectsExerciseDiscoveryAddKnowledge And Power Author:Michel Foucault
“I don't have a favorite body part nor do I have a favorite exercise. Everyone who is honest prefers machines over free-weights, because machines are more convenient and cause less muscle pain and require less concentration and are generally less dangerous. BUT, if you like to have real gains you have to train hard and heavy, and you have to chose always the LEAST favorite exercises which actually give you the best possible results. So go for the least favorite exercises, the free weights... and go for the muscle pain!” IfsGivingRealHardBodyPainCausesResultsHonestDangerousExerciseGainsMachinesWeightTrainHeavyMusclesConcentrationConvenientTrain Hard Author:Nasser El Sonbaty
“I think people who are unhappy are always proud of being so, and therefore do not like to be told that there is nothing grand about their unhappiness. A man who is melancholy because lack of exercise has upset his liver always believes that it is the loss of God, or the menace of Bolshevism, or some such dignified cause that makes him sad. When you tell people that happiness is a simple matter, they get annoyed with you.” PeopleThinkingMenBelieveMatterCausesLossSimpleProudExerciseUnhappyUpsetUnhappinessMelancholyAlways BelieveAnnoyedMenaceLiverBolshevism Book:Autobiography Source: Autobiography
“Literature is at once the cause and the effect of social progress. It deepens our natural sensibilities, and strengthens by exercise our intellectual capacities.
