Quote by G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb
Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.
Summary
This quote implies that our perception of certain bodily functions or natural aspects of our bodies as unpleasant or repulsive is influenced by the concept of nobility or social standards. Without this societal construct, the inherent nature of our bodies would not be seen as dirty or obscene. It suggests that our judgments towards our physical selves are learned and shaped by societal norms, rather than being inherent or universal perceptions.
