“The harmony of two bodies expressed in this single touch, bridging their differences and bending their moral reserve, was as powerful and wild asphysical fulfillment, yet there was nothing false in this harmony, noillusion created that just by touching, our bodies could express feelingsthat rationality prevented us from making permanent; I might even say thatour bodies cooly preserved their good sense, scheming and keeping eachother in check, as if to say, I'll yield unreservedly to the madness ofthe moment but only if and when you do the same; but this physical pleafor passion and reason, spontaneity and calculation, closeness anddistance, took our bodies past the point where, clinging to desire andstriving for the moment of gratification, they would seek a new and more complete harmony.”
“The harmony of soul and body - how much that is! We in our madness have separated the two, and have invented a realism that is vulgar, and ideality that is void.”
“The real dance is a spontaneous body movement that in harmony with the beats of the music in your heart.”
“There are two aspects of individual harmony: the harmony between body and soul, and the harmony between individuals. All the tragedy in the world, in the individual and in the multitude, comes from lack of harmony. And harmony is the best given by producing harmony in one's own life. ”
“You know what you get when the mind and body act as one?...You get harmony...remember that. There is no you. There is no it. Mind and body need a single purpose.”
“[O]ur own bodies are changing every second. Yet we take the body to be our Self; and, speaking in terms of it, we say, “I am hungry” or “I am lame”; “I am black” or “I am white.” These are all just the conditions of the body. We touch the truth when we say, “My body aches,” implying the body belongs to us and that therefore we are not that. (87)”
