"The purpose of the body is not to be beautiful. It is to be an instrument of communication, to be a vehicle and to participate in a physical world in a physical reality. Like an automobile, if it can get you where you need to go, it has done its job." [2]

Metaphors

"The car is supposed to serve the driver, not the other way around." [2]
