Sensation Quotations

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

George Bernard Shaw

Love begins with an image; lust with a sensation.
Mason Cooley

Lord Byron

Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another.
Ambrose Bierce
