“It is easy to show that there is no more mystery in the interaction between body and soul than in any other example of cause and effect, and that only the unjustified confidence that we understand something in one case causes our surprise, that we understand nothing about the other.” Rudolf Hermann Lotze

“The meaning that descends from the “I,” our main hope, fills the body; it becomes a collection of meanings rather than just a collection of cells. His organs are not simple components, but symbols, dangerous and profound. It generally becomes the bearer of value, beauty or ugliness, grace and coherence of the mechanism, internal philosophy; pride and shame, an insatiable interest in art, the flexible expressiveness of dance - everything becomes explainable. Posture, gesture, millions of subtle expressive shades of color and facial tension become direct, natural manifestations of internal movements. Poetry and morality, religion and logic reassert themselves in the members of our bodies as well as in our minds, and the world regains that concrete unity of which our penchant for analysis threatened to deprive us.

“' I', his body and freedom.” W.E. Hawking, p. 97
