'It is only by the corporealization of its inner determinations that the subject is enabled to feel them.
Shame, which is closely akin to anger, likewise corporealizes itself in the circulatory system. in shame one begins to be a little angry with oneself; for shame contains a reaction to the contradiction between what I appear to be and what I ought and want to be, and is therefore a defense of my inner self against my incongruous appearance'.
Hegel, Philosophy of Mind
