“Thoughts are the shadows of our sensations -- always darker, emptier, simpler than these.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I love a hand that meets my own with a grasp that causes some sensation.”
Samuel Osgood
“Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other; given the upper, to find the under side.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The senses collect the surface facts of matter... It was sensation; when memory came, it was experience; when mind acted, it was knowledge; when mind acted on it as knowledge, it was thought.”
“We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.”
Charles Baudelaire
“To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.”
Freya Stark
“It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.”
W. E. B. Du Bois
