But all art is sensual and poetry particularly so. It is directly, that is, of the senses, and since the senses do not exist without an object for their employment all art is necessarily objective. It doesn't declaim or explain, it presents.
William Carlos Williams
Image
Today, when we look at a brain, we see an intricate network of billions of neurons in constant, crackling communication, a chemical labyrinth that senses the world outside and within, produces love and sorrow, keeps our hearts beating and lungs breathing, composes our thoughts, and constructs our consciousness.
Carl Zimmer
Image
Chemistry is yet, indeed, a mere embryon. Its principles are contested experiments seem contradictory their subjects are so minute as to escape our senses and their result too fallacious to satisfy the mind. It is probably an age too soon to propose the establishment of a system.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
It was a great thing to be a human being. It was something tremendous. Suddenly I'm conscious of a million sensations buzzing in me like bees in a hive. Gentlemen, it was a great thing.
Karel Capek
Image
We are all human, and our senses are quicker to prompt us than our reason. Every man gives off a scent, and that scent tells you how to act before your head does.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
The heart senses who is friend and who is no friend.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
We are so curiously made that one atom put in the wrong place in our original structure will often make us unhappy for life.
William Godwin
Image
Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.
William Gurnall
Image
We know that our senses are subject to decay, that from our middle years they are decaying all the time but happily it is as if we didn't know and didn't believe.
William Henry Hudson
Image
With One Spirit Medicine , you will discover how to dance between the visible, physical world of the senses and everyday tasks, and the invisible world of Spirit. You will be like the graceful jaguar, the balancing force of the rain forest who serves as an intermediary between the seen and unseen worlds as it journeys beyond death into eternity.
Alberto Villoldo
Image
Know thou the self (spirit) as riding in a chariot, The body as the chariot. Know thou the intellect as the chariot-driver, And the mind as the reins. The senses, they say, are the horses The objects of sense, what they range over. The self combined with senses and mind Wise men call the enjoyer.
Albert Pike
Image
Whilst part of what we perceive comes through our senses from the object before us, another part (and it may be the larger part) always comes out of our own mind.
William James
Image
The general law is that no mental modification ever occurs which is not accompanied or followed by a bodily change.
William James
Image
It is easy to say something new, if all senses one will eschew. But hardly ever is found, that the new is also sound.
Albert Einstein
Image
I like to experience the universe as one harmonious whole. Every cell has life. Matter, too, has life it is energy solidified. Our bodies are like prisons, and I look forward to be free, but I don't speculate on what will happen to me. I live here now, and my responsibility is in this world now.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.
Albert Einstein
Image
No idea is conceived in our mind independent of our five senses [i.e., no idea is divinely inspired].
Albert Einstein
Image
It is an outcome of faith that nature-as she is perceptible to our five senses-takes the character of such a well formulated puzzle.
Albert Einstein
Image
Each of us is here for a brief sojourn for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert Einstein
Image
Whoever has not learned to let Nature have her way is not fit for a gardener, or, for that matter, for a contented soul. A garden makes all our senses swim with pleasure.
William Lawson

A garden makes all our senses swim with pleasure.

For my part, I believe that remorse is the least active of all a man's moral senses,--the very easiest to be deadened when wakened, and in some never wakened at all.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.
Margaret Atwood
Image
Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.
William Osler
