"Education has two branches, one of gymnastic, which 

 is concerned with the body, and the other of music, which is 

 designed for the improvement of the soul." Plato. 



" The body is the source of endless trouble to us by reason 

 of the mere requirements of food; and also is liable to diseases 

 which overtake and impede us in the search after truth; and by 

 filling us full of loves and lusts and fears and fancies and idols 

 and every sort of folly prevents our ever having, as people 

 say, so much as a thought." 



Socrates (in Plato's Phado).
