“The human body is a machine which winds its own springs.”
What this quote means
This quote by La Mettrie, an 18th-century materialist, asserts that the body functions autonomously, like a machine that winds its own springs. It emphasizes the importance of physiology and life, and invites us to care for our body, as it is the engine of our existence. It applies when we neglect our health or forget that our well-being also depends on our physicality.
