Sensitive Nerve

Famous quotes containing the words sensitive and/or nerve:

“Pity in a man of knowledge seems almost laughable, like sensitive hands on a cyclops.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“our nerve filaments twitch with its presence
day and night,
nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying,
nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness,
the deep intelligence living at peace would have.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
