3. “Anything is better than the silence when she answered to hands gesturing and was indifferent to the movement of lips. When she saw every little thing and colors leaped smoldering into view. She will forgo the most violent of sunsets, stars as fat as dinner plates and all the blood of autumn and settle for the palest yellow if it comes from her Beloved.”
Toni Morrison
Silence, Love, Perception, Intimacy, Senses, Connection
7. “For some inexplicable reason the sense of smell does not hold the high position it deserves among its sisters. There is something of the fallen angel about it. When it woos us with woodland scents and beguiles us with the fragrance of lovely gardens, it is admitted frankly to our discourse. But when it gives us warning of something noxious in our vicinity, it is treated as if the demon had got the upper hand of the angel, and is relegated to outer darkness, punished for its faithful service.” Helen Keller Sense Of Smell, Underappreciated Senses, Nature's Fragrance, Olfactory Awareness, Smell, Senses
8. “Hallo! A great deal of steam! the pudding was out of the copper. A smell like a washing-day! That was the cloth. A smell like an eating-house and a pastrycook’s next door to each other, with a laundress’s next door to that. That was the pudding.” Charles Dickens Food, Humor, Senses, Smell, Atmosphere
16. “It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen...” Michelangelo Creative Variety, Mortal Eyes, Decoration, Painting, Senses, Attention
24. “Odors have an altogether peculiar force, in affecting us through association; a force differing essentially from that of objects addressing the touch, the taste, the sight or the hearing.” Edgar Allan Poe Senses, Perception, Memory, Philosophical Insight, Emotional Resonance, Sensory Experience
26. “Seeing that the Senses cannot decide our dispute, being themselves full of uncertainty, we must have recourse to Reason; there is no reason but must be built upon another reason: so here we are retreating backwards to infinity.” Michel de Montaigne Reason, Senses, Knowledge, Philosophy, Uncertainty
