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 When you have shot one bird flying you have shot all birds flying. They are all different and they fly in different ways but the sensation is the same and the last one is as good as the first. Ernest Hemingway The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain. Lord Byron It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace. George Bernard Shaw Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place. Josh Billings There is no more lively sensation than that of pain; its impressions are certain and dependable, they never deceive as may those of the pleasure women perpetually feign and almost never experience. Marquis de Sade Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another. Ambrose Bierce It's a weird sensation to be mad and learning at the same time. Jeff Foxworthy I was an overnight sensation. Elvis Presley 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 |
