Famous quotes containing the words effect, body, posture and/or gait:
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
“An empty house is like a stray dog or a body from which life has departed.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“If one’s posture is upright, one has no need to fear a crooked shadow.”
—Chinese proverb.
“I have a deep sympathy with war, it so apes the gait and bearing of the soul.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
