• La comedia de hoy no es lo que era hace años. Siempre está cambiando, en particular para las cómicas. Ciertos temas ya no se consideran coto masculino. Las mujeres pueden hablar de sexualidad y de sus funciones corporales y puede ser muy, muy entretenido. Ha cambiado el impacto de la actuación cómica.

• I think there are things that aren't represented in movies that are a big part of everyone's life. We romanticize everything about people in movies. One of the things I don't like in movies is that people feel alone with their bodily functions in the real world, as if people in the movies don't do these things.

• Siglos de secularismo no han conseguido transformar la alimentación en algo estrictamente utilitario. La comida se sigue tratando con reverencia... Comer sigue siendo algo más que mantener las funciones corporales. Puede que la gente no entienda qué es ese "algo más", pero sin embargo desea celebrarlo. Siguen teniendo hambre y sed de vida sacramental.

• There are certain bodily functions of mine which I will not allow to be supervised. One of these is eating. Nobody's going to license me to do this. Another one is bodily disposals. I will defecate and urinate when I damn well please and as the spirit -and the physical necessity -moves me. And my sex life is peculiarly my own. I will engage in sexual activity with a consenting male any time and any place I damn well please.

• At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.

  María Montessori

• You love the person for who they are, flaws and all. You can't help who you love, either. It comes from a different side of your brain than the logic part that tells you that this person is horrible for you - "You should walk away!" While you're walking away, the other part of your brain is trying to gain control of your bodily functions. "Turn around! She's the one!"

  Jim Carrey

• A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wiresto the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.

• If anybody wants to engage in any kind of sexual activity with any consenting partner, that is their business. Anybody can do anything they damn well please, as long as the relationship isn't exploitive. And I don't feel that legality should have anything to do with it. There are certain bodily functions of mine which I will not allow to be supervised.

• Es señal de una mente embotada detenerse en los cuidados del cuerpo, prolongar el ejercicio, comer y beber y otras funciones corporales. Estas cosas se hacen mejor por el camino; toda tu atención debe dedicarse a la mente.

• When a pastor continually makes light of the character of our Lord by speaking in scatological tones about the Son of Man's bodily functions in incarnation or wearing T-Shirts that rather mock the King of Righteousness rather than glorify Him, then something is terribly awry.

• Es probable que todos los juicios morales particulares que hacemos intuitivamente deriven de sistemas religiosos descartados, de visiones deformadas del sexo y las funciones corporales, o de costumbres necesarias para la supervivencia del grupo en circunstancias sociales y económicas que ahora se encuentran en un pasado lejano.

  Peter Singer

• Be as though you don't exist. Let the bodily functions unfold, let thoughts come and go but don't follow them. Be only the awareness. Something is unplugged, but you are still fully here. Senses are functioning normally. This was never the trouble. The mind rises up as resistances and doubts but they are mere thoughts. Mind in its psychological aspect can come full power, but you are not to be a traffic policeman inside your own head.
