Famous quotes containing the words arousing and/or stimuli:
“There is nothing like arousing appetite and affection; otherwise all you make out of them is asses loaded with books.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Unable to create a meaningful life for itself, the personality takes its own revenge: from the lower depths comes a regressive form of spontaneity: raw animality forms a counterpoise to the meaningless stimuli and the vicarious life to which the ordinary man is conditioned. Getting spiritual nourishment from this chaos of events, sensations, and devious interpretations is the equivalent of trying to pick through a garbage pile for food.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
