Physical Exercise Quotes

“Physical training is mental warfare!”

“You have a great body. It is an intricate piece of technology and a sophisticated super-computer. It runs on peanuts and even regenerates itself.

“I sense a dark foreboding in man’s separation from his body, as if it heralded the severing of man’s direct link to nature’s laws. This is not a minor issue: it’s about whether man is a human being or a machine. This question is related to even more profound matters — in fact, the most serious matters of all. The most crucial question regarding every human action in this era is how much strain it exercises on nature: the choice is between growth and preservation. This increasing lack of physical exercise does not bode well. The replacement of muscle power with industrial energy means, of course, a great increase of burden, the fiasco of all fiascos.”

“There are other ways to create this 'moment of emptiness' besides having to 'hit bottom.' One method would be to perform physical exercise till a state of exhaustion is achieved. Another technique is through sexual stimulation to the point of orgasm, when the mind suddenly goes blank, and we experience what the French call the 'petit mort,' or little death.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence
