Bodies do not produce sensations, but complexes of elements (complexes of sensations) make up bodies.

Ordinarily pleasure and pain are regarded as different from sensations.

The ego is as little absolutely permanent as are bodies.

Thing, body, matter, are nothing apart from the combinations of the elements, - the colours, sounds, and so forth - nothing apart from their so-called attributes.

The challenge of Mosul and Nineveh is the considerable number of ethnic groups, religious sects, tribes, and other elements that make up the province.

I embrace my blackness, just as I do my conservatism and my Christianity, but I don't want to be defined or pigeonholed by any one of the many elements that make up my character.
