“Only the body saves the soul.”

“I only wish the poets would say this too: love is of the body; not the body, but of the the body. Ah! the misery that would be saved if we confessed that! Ah! for a little directness to liberate the soul!”

“Saving the body will do nothing but prolong the death. It is the souls that are immortal, and you cannot give yours away.”

“Regarding the fitness craze: America has lost its soul; now it's trying to save its body.”

“As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?”

“If you dear little girls would only learn what real beauty is, and not pinch and starve and bleach yourselves out so, you'd save an immense deal of time and money and pain. A happy soul in a healthy body makes the best sort of beauty for man or woman.”
