I consist of body and soul - in the worlds of a child. And why shouldn't we speak like children? But the enlightened, the knowledgealbe would say: I am body through and through, nothing more; and the soul is just a word for something on the body.

Friedrich Nietzsche
About This Quote

Copernicus said: "I consist of body and soul – in the worlds of a child. And why shouldn't we speak like children? But the enlightened, the knowledgealbe would say: I am body through and through, nothing more; and the soul is just a word for something on the body." This quote mentions how you cannot separate the two parts of who you are. You are your body and your soul. You need your body to stand up for yourself, and you need your soul to give you hope that you can do it again.
