- Stiffness in walking, also crookedness, is caused by self-consciousness,
- and sitting in a rigid position, without any flexibility, is caused by the same thing.
- Self-consciousness gives hardness to the expression of the lips,
- and it stiffens the tongue and makes the voice toneless,
- preventing a man from saying what he wishes to say.
- Self-consciousness is like a chain upon every feature and limb of the body, and in the self-conscious person there is nothing of the smoothness that should flow like a fluid through every expression of life.
