  • The ductless glands secrete among other things our moods, our aspirations, our philosophy of life.

    Aldous Huxley (2000). “Complete Essays: 1930-1935”, Ivan R Dee
  • These changes-the more rapid pulse, the deeper breathing, the increase of sugar in the blood, the secretion from the adrenal glands-were very diverse and seemed unrelated. Then, one wakeful night, after a considerable collection of these changes had been disclosed, the idea flashed through my mind that they could be nicely integrated if conceived as bodily preparations for supreme effort in flight or in fighting. Further investigation added to the collection and confirmed the general scheme suggested by the hunch.

  • Recognizing that we have the kind of blood we have because we have the kind of kidneys we have, we must acknowledge that our kidneys constitute the major foundation of our philosophical freedom. Only because they work the way they do has it become possible for us to have bones, muscles, glands and brains. Superficially, it might be said that the function of the kidney is to make urine; but in a more considered view one can say that the kidneys make the stuff of philosophy itself.

    People   Devil   Evoke  
    William Faulkner (1951). “Absalom, Absalom!”
  • Hatred seems to work on the same glands as love: it even produces the same actions. If we had not been taught how to interpret the story of the Passion, would we have been able to say from their actions alone whether it was the jealous Judas or the cowardly Peter who loved Christ?

    The End of the Affair ch. 3 (1951)
  • Success is dependent upon the glands - sweat glands.

  • I heard Professor Cannon lecture last night, going partly on your account. His subject was a physiological substitute for war-which is international sports and I suppose motorcycle races-to encourage the secretion of the adrenal glands!

    Sports   War   Night  
  • Whoever said the soul and the body met in the pineal gland was a fool. It's the asshole, stupid.

    Stupid   Soul   Body  
    André Aciman (2008). “Call Me by Your Name: A Novel”, p.141, Macmillan
  • There's really no such thing as the agony of dying. I'm quite sure that pain is shut off at the moment of death. You see, something happens when the body knows it's about to go. Peptide hormones are released by cells in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Endorphins. They attach themselves to the cells responsible for feeling pain.

    Pain   Cells   Agony  
  • I was 52 years old. I had diabetes and incipient arthritis. I had lost my gall bladder and most of my thyroid gland in earlier campaigns, but I was convinced the best was ahead of me.

    Ray Kroc (2016). “Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald's”, p.15, St. Martin's Griffin
  • 'Early stages' is when the cancer is completely contained within the prostate. If it is detected when the cancer is entirely in the gland, the chance for full recovery is at its highest.

  • For what we think and feel and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and our viscera.

    Funny   Yoga   Health  
    "Complete Essays: 1920-1925".
  • When our individual life force enters our fetal body, the moment in which we become truly human, it passes through the pineal and triggers the first primordial flood of DMT. Later, at birth, the pineal releases more DMT. As we die, the life-force leaves the body through the pineal gland, releasing another flood of this psychedelic spirit molecule.

    Dmt   Molecules   Body  
  • The pineal gland of evolutionarily older animals, such as lizards and amphibians, is also called the 'third' eye. Just like the two seeing eyes, the third eye possesses a lens, cornea, and retina. It is light-sensitive and helps regulate body temperature and skin coloration-two basic survival functions related to environmental light.

    Eye   Animal   Two  
    Rick Strassman (2000). “DMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences”, p.62, Simon and Schuster
  • I read somewhere, one, that crying defies scientific explanation. Tears are only meant to lubricate the eyes. There is no real reason for tear glands to overproduce tears at the behest of emotion. I think we cry to release the animal parts of us without losing our humanity. Because inside of me is a beast that snarls, and growls, and strains toward freedom, toward Tobias, and, above all, towards life. And as hard as I try, I cannot kill it.

    Real   Eye   Animal  
  • From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands.

    Ice Cream   Swag   Eating  
  • The mans prostate was so encased by the tumour that doctors couldn't even see it. The tumour was wrapped around the gland...when he started out his PSA was...around 5,000...it eventually normalised...and he is alive and well now..and I think his PSA count is like 3 or 4.

  • The existence of God, the why of life, was all that really only a question of glands?

  • Every deadline was a crisis … No doubt it has something to do with a deep-seated personality defect, or maybe a kink in whatever blood vessel leads into the pineal gland … On the other hand, it might easily be something as simple and basically perverse as whatever instinct it is that causes a jackrabbit to wait until the last possible second to dart across the road in front of a speeding car.

    Simple   Blood   Hands  
    Hunter S. Thompson (2012). “The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time”, p.186, Pan Macmillan
  • Success is dependent on the glands - the sweat glands.

  • All thinking is done with the glands. Logic is added later to tidy things up.

    Thinking   Done   Logic  
  • While ants exist in just the right numbers for the rest of the living world, humans have become too numerous. If we were to vanish today, the land environment would return to the fertile balance that existed before the human population explosion. Only a dozen or so species, among which are the crab louse and a mite that lives in the oil glands of our foreheads, depend on us entirely. But if ants were to disappear, tens of thousands of other plants and animal species would perish also, simplifying and weakening land ecosystems almost everywhere.

  • Great rationalizations. All of which her adrenal gland middle-fingered and then carried right on.

    J.R. Ward (2010). “Lover Mine: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood”, p.375, Penguin

    Exercise   Soul   Brain  
    "Passions of the Soul".
  • I waved my hand in front of my face, obi-wan style. "I am not here." Niall's mucas glands kicked into overdrive. "Eoin's dead! And his ghost is standing right there on the grass!" Donal let out a long suffering sigh. "Eoin is being a writer." Niall calmed down, becuase everyone knows writers are weird and are always doing stupid thingss.

    Stupid   Hands   Long  
  • I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, an illness of the thyroid gland. Instead of surgery, I was given radiation treatment.

    "Gail Devers: 'A girl asked what was wrong with me. She said I looked like a monster'". Interview with Jamie Jackson, www.theguardian.com. April 1, 2007.
  • There are but a few blood purifiers and these are all in the body. We know them as the liver, kidneys, lungs, colon, and a few glands.

    Blood   Kidneys   Body  
    Herbert M. Shelton (1996). “Hygienic Review”, p.93, Health Research Books
  • From numberless books the fluttering reader, idle and inconstant, bears away the bloom that only clings to the outer leaf; but genius has its nectaries, delicate glands, and secrecies of sweetness, and upon these the thoughtful mind must settle in its labor, before the choice perfume of fancy and wisdom is drawn forth.

    Robert Aris Willmott (1907). “Pleasures of Literature”
