A man thinks as well through his legs and arms as this brain

Summary

This quote suggests that bodily movements and actions are just as essential as intellectual thinking in the functioning of a man. It implies that the body is not separate from the mind, but instead plays a crucial role in cognitive processes. By asserting that a man "thinks" through his legs and arms, the quote implies that physicality and movement are integral to the complete human thinking experience. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body and mind, challenging the notion that intellectual thought reigns supreme.
