“Muscle is good, but craft is better”

“Humans have long since possessed the tools for crafting a better world. Where love, compassion, altruism and justice have failed, genetic manipulation will not succeed.”

“What is wrong with looking muscular? Muscles are beautiful. Strength is beautiful. Muscle tissue is beautiful. It is metabolically, medically, and philosophically beautiful. Muscles retreat when they're not used, but they will always come back if you give them good reason. No matter how old you get, your muscles never lose hope. Few cells of the body are as capable as muscle cells are of change and reformation, of achievement and transcendence.”

“I like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more.”

“I did not begin with craft, I began with strong feelings and worked toward craft.”

“It is better to be beautiful then to be good, but it is better to be good then to be ugly.”
