It hurts to watch the fluency of a body acclimated to its shackling.

Flesh was the reason why oil painting was invented.

Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond.

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

I’m at an age when my back goes out more than I do.

Every man must descend into the flesh to meet mankind.

The world is made of the very stuff of the body.

Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.

O flesh, flesh, how art thou fishified!

What are men anyway but balloons on legs, a lot of blown-up bladders?

Celibacy goes deeper than the flesh.

The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit has made permanent.

The human body is the best picture of the human soul.
