"Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul"

- Dorothy Day

About this Quote

This quote by Dorothy Day speaks to the importance of nourishing our souls in addition to our bodies. It recommends that physical nourishment is insufficient to sustain us; we must also feed our souls. This could indicate engaging in activities that bring us joy, getting in touch with our spiritual side, or just taking time to show and appreciate the appeal of life. It is very important to recognize that our souls require nourishment just as much as our bodies do. Without it, we can end up being unbalanced and disconnected from ourselves. Dorothy Day's quote motivates us to put in the time to support our souls and to acknowledge that it is simply as crucial as looking after our physical requirements.
