Celibacy goes deeper than the flesh.

To know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an enthusiastic soul.

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

One’s body, hair, and skin are a gift from one’s parents—do not dare to allow them to be harmed.

There is only one antidote to mental suffering and that is physical pain.

Carnal embrace is the practice of throwing one’s arms around a side of beef.

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

If I had the use of my body I would throw it out of the window.

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

My face looks like a wedding cake left out in the rain.

I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king.

O flesh, flesh, how art thou fishified!

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