Leo Tolstoy:
-
"The weight on the scale is often lighter than the burden on the soul."
-
"True freedom is not in the shedding of pounds but in the release from self-judgment."
-
"We weigh ourselves not to measure the body, but to measure the worth we were once denied."
Friedrich Nietzsche:
-
"He who is obsessed with the number on the scale has not yet conquered the tyranny of the self."
-
"The struggle for control over one’s body is but a shadow of the deeper battle against one’s own mind."
-
"To demand perfection from the flesh is to misunderstand the soul’s pursuit of freedom."
René Descartes:
-
"I think, therefore I am—but I weigh, therefore I doubt."
-
"The scale cannot measure the essence of my being, for it perceives only mass, not meaning."
-
"When the mind surrenders to numbers, it loses its certainty of truth."
Michelangelo:
-
"The body, like marble, must be shaped with patience, but never should the sculptor despise the stone."
-
"To fixate on weight is to see only the surface—true beauty is carved from within."
-
"Even the most perfected form is hollow if forged in self-loathing."
