“We carve on our body what society teaches us and continue this task, not knowing the identity they force us to have. This identity is carved on our faces and our skins. Not knowing our bodies have become "the paper made of human meat," we stuff our bodies and make them a theater where cultural symbols or suppressed symbols play.” HumansMadePlayBodyFacesForceStuffTeachKnowingIdentityPaperTasksSkinsTheaterSymbolsMeatNot Knowing Author:Kim Hyesoon
“The theory that gravitational attraction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance leads by remorseless logic to the conclusion that the path of a planet should be an ellipse .... It is this logical thinking that is the real meat of the physical sciences. The social scientist keeps the skin and throws away the meat.... His theorems no more follow from his postulates than the hunches of a horse player follow logically from the latest racing news. The result is guesswork clad in long flowing robes of gobbledygook.” ThinkingShouldLongRealScienceSocialResultsPathPlayerPlanetsTheoryNewsLogicSkinsScientistHorseDistanceAttractionConclusionMeatLogicalRacingSquaresRobesTheoremsLogical ThinkingHunchesPhysical ScienceRemorselessGuesswork Author:Anthony Standen
“That's the ultimate goal of most turkey recipes: to create a great skin and stuffing to hide the fact that turkey meat, in its cooked state, is dry and flavorless. Does it have to be that way? No. We just have to focus on what the turkey is and what the turkey needs.” WayNeedsDoeStatesFactsGoalFocusSkinsUltimateMeatDryRecipesTurkeysUltimate Goal Author:Alton Brown

“The moon had risen behind him, the color of a shark's underbelly. It lit the ruined walls, and the skin of his arms and hands, with its sickly light, making him long for a mirror in which to study his face. Surely he'd be able to see the bones beneath the meat; the skull gleaming the way his teeth gleamed when he smiled. After all, wasn't that what a smile said? Hello, world, this is the way I'll look when the wet parts are rotted.” WorldWayLooksLongSaidHandsLightAbleFacesBehindsStudyColorWallArmsMoonSkinsMirrorsBonesTeethMeatWetRuinedHelloLitSkullsSharksRisen Author:Clive Barker
“Feminists do the best Photoshop because they leave the meat on your bones. They don’t change your size or your skin color. They leave in your disgusting knuckles, but they may take out some armpit stubble. Not because they’re denying its existence, but because they understand that it’s okay to make a photo look as if you were caught on your best day in the best light.” IfsLooksMayLightExistenceColorOkaySkinsSizeCaughtFeministBonesMeatDisgustingDo The BestDon't ChangeSkin ColorKnucklesPhotoshopArmpits Author:Tina Fey
“What's wrong with men?" Tenar inquired cautiously. As cautiously, lowering her voice, Moss replied, "I don't know, my dearie. I've thought on it. Often I've thought on it. The best I can say it is like this. A man's in his skin, see, like a nut in its shell." She held up her long, bent, wet fingers as if holding a walnut. "It's hard and strong, that shell, and it's all full of him. Full of grand man-meat, man-self. And that's all. That's all there is. It's all him and nothing else, inside.” IfsKnowsMenLongI CanSelfHardStrongVoiceSkinsFingersMeatNutsWetShellsBentMossWalnuts Author:Ursula K. Le Guin
