Mr. Duffy lived a short distance from his body.
Our bodies are apt to be our autobiographies.
I was always unusual-looking; I wouldn't say beautiful.
I'm very physical. It's an important part of being a woman - feeling good about yourself and really being in tune with your personality.
I don't like my physique at all.
I definitely went through a period where I don't want to say I hated myself, but I hated what I saw in the mirror. I would try to cover it up, and it wasn't until I started doing sports - until after London 2012 - that I kind of started getting more of that confidence in my body and appreciating my body.
When I dance, I look like I'm a dad at a prom. I never grasped my limbs. Ever since puberty I've just kind of felt like we don't understand each other.
You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that's your body.
You have to come to terms with loving your body.
I always tell people I'm not one of these guys that was, like, born with, like, a halfway decent body.
The only time I did not know how to be, physically, was when I lost a lot of weight. That was the only time I didn't understand my body.
Aikido is not merely about fighting and the development of the physical self but the perfection of the spiritual man at the same time. It has very harmonious movements, very beautiful to watch and beautiful for your body to feel.
I am pretty bow-legged. It's annoying.
We're very physical creatures, and we worry about how we look sometimes more than our spiritual selves.
The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless; whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise.
The fact that my clothing has been visually available to other people I do not find upsetting. The body is another matter. It is mine; I have found it useful; but it is an avatar.
On a scale of one to 10, I'd rate my body confidence as a good seven. Everyone has their hang-ups, but I see my body as a training tool and I feel good about it.
I was always bigger than the other girls. My sisters are very, very beautiful and very skinny, and I've always had a more muscular body. So I grew up with a different mentality.
I had a totally normal relationship with my body.
Coming from a barely clothed childhood as a swimmer makes me really comfortable with my body.
Everyone has areas they're not comfortable with, and mine are my bum, thighs, and legs.
Your timeless self does not age and has no fear of the future. Contemplate your physical self and all its possessions, and practice laughing peacefully at it all.
I want to feel sexy with the body I have.
Perhaps we shall learn, as we pass through this age, that the 'other self" is more powerful than the physical self we see when we look into a mirror.
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
