Bodily Feelings

Famous quotes containing the words bodily and/or feelings:

“Cultivate the habit of thinking ahead, and of anticipating the necessary and immediate consequences of all your actions.... Likewise in your pleasures, ask yourself what such and such an amusement leads to, as it is essential to have an objective in everything you do. Any pastime that contributes nothing to bodily strength or to mental alertness is a totally ridiculous, not to say, idiotic, pleasure.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“My feelings about my work are, on the whole, not unfriendly. Boundless modesty and what people call “humility” are virtues scarcely conducive to one’s complacently dwelling upon one’s own work—particularly when one lacks them.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
