" The body's life is the life of sensation and emotions. The body feels real hunger, real thirst, real joy in the sun or snow, real pleasure in the smell of roses or the look of a lilac bush: real anger, real sorrow, real tenderness, real warmth, real passion, real hate, real grief. All these emotions belong to the body and are only recognized by the mind."
D.H. Lawrence
