Body Worlds

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or worlds:

    Though I knit my brow,
    my gaze is fixed
    longingly
    anyway.
    Though I check my tongue,
    this tortured face of mine
    dissolves in a smile.
    Though I drive my heart to hardness,
    my body bears
    the gooseflesh
    of desire.
    When I see that man,
    how on earth
    can my anger
    survive?
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)
