I'm just trying to say that it should reassure us that the inevitable traumas of being human do end up producing some good. Otherwise, the human condition is overwhelmingly depressing.

I've always been fascinated by the human body, but you can become quite morbid and paranoid if you think too much.

I'm drawn to the taboos that surround the human body. I find it fascinating that we are repelled by many of the acts and processes that keep us alive.

What we think of as our sensitivity is only the higher evolution of terror in a poor dumb beast. We suffer for nothing. Our own death wish is our only real tragedy.

We have rudiments of reverence for the human body, but we consider as nothing the rape of the human mind.

Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind.

The study of consciousness that can extend beyond the body is extremely important for the issue of survival, since it is this part of human personality that would be likely to survive death.

I think that there is something beautiful about mortality. It makes our decisions mean more.

I think the human body is beautiful, and I don't really have a huge problem in dealing with it, but it's the context, the environment and what I feel about it that that makes the difference for me.

I think it's important to realize that we're all just human. I mean, nobody is supernatural.
