Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or body:
“Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.... Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Man is the broken giant, and in all his weakness both his body and his mind are invigorated by habits of conversation with nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
