“Having a body is in itself the greatest threat to the mind... The body encloses the mind in a fortress; before long the mind is besieged on all sides, and in the end the mind has to give itself up.”

“The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.”
Frank Herbert
Dune
“The mind commands the body and is instantly obeyed. The mind commands itself and meets resistance.”
St. Augustine of Hippo
Confessions
“At the end of the mind, the body. But at the end of the body, the mind.”
Paul Valery
“The mind commands the body, and obedience is instant; the mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind tells the hand to move, and all goes so smoothly that it is hard to distinguish the command from its execution. Yet the mind is the mind, and the hand is a body. The mind tells the mind to will; one is the same as the other, and yet it does not do what it is told.”
Saint Augustin
Confessions: Livre XI
“Before aligning the mind, body and soul ... first one has to straighten their mind out.”
Stephen Richards
