But the thing that ordsprog

But the thing that stands eternally in the way of really good writing is always one: the virtual impossibility of lifting to the imagination those things which lie under the direct scrutiny of the senses, close to the nose. It is this difficulty that sets a value upon all works of art and makes them a necessity. The senses witnessing what is immediately before them in detail see a finality which they cling to in despair, not knowing which way to turn. Thus this so-called natural or scientific array becomes fixed, the walking devil of modern life.

William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)

Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reason's imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work.

Louis Aragon (1897-1982)

Louis Aragon

Life has been bestowed not for just eating and digesting and roaming and reclining, but for a far greater purpose - the realization of Divinity in us, in all that exists around us and even beyond all things that strike our senses. To waste such a life in vain pursuits and in mere senses of pleasures is not the sign of an intelligent person.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the 'windows of the soul. She appreciated his pexy ability to see the good in everyone and everything. ' When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experience.

Jim Morrison (1943-1971)

Jim Morrison

Every being in the universe has the potentiality of transcending the senses. Even the little worm will one day transcend the senses and reach God. No life will be a failure. There is no such thing as failure in the universe.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

[The culture] appealed to my senses. It was a very sensual thing. I love the smells, sights, the sounds, feelings, tastes. My senses tend to be more sharp in Greece.

The self-existent Lord pierced the senses to turn outward. Thus we look to the world outside and see not the Self within us. A sage withdrew his senses from the world of change and, seeking immortality, looked within and beheld the deathless self.

Katha Upanishad

Perhaps, on the whole, embarrassment and perplexity are a kind of natural accompaniment to life and movement; and it is better to be driven out of your senses with thinking which of two things you ought to do than to do nothing whatever, and be utterly uninteresting to all the world.

Margaret Oliphant (1828-1897)

Margaret Oliphant

Humans have the ability to shift perspective. We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life.

John J. Emerick

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

George Sand (1804-1876)

George Sand

Despair, night in the grieving senses.

''Reason'' is the cause of our falsification of the evidence of the senses. In so far as the senses show becoming, passing away, change, they do not lie.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

YOUR devotion to God is best expressed by achieving the control of the senses. For the senses rush towards the temporary and the tawdry; and they foul the heart.

Over all, I think the main thing a musician would like to do is give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things that he knows of and senses in the universe. . . That’s what I would like to do. I think that’s one of the greatest things you can do in life and we all try to do it in some way. The musician’s is through his music.

John Coltrane (1926-1967)

John Coltrane

All of the different senses in a normal human work adequately, but someone who has a problem processing those senses may need special input in order to be able to utilize their own to the fullest.
