Body Part

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or part:

“The body is but a pair of pincers set over a bellows and a stewpan and the whole fixed upon stilts.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“We are all androgynous, not only because we are all born of a woman impregnated by the seed of a man but because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other—male in female, female in male, white in black and black in white. We are a part of each other. Many of my countrymen appear to find this fact exceedingly inconvenient and even unfair, and so, very often, do I. But none of us can do anything about it.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
