    “In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousness—a color, a weight, a texture—that we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.”
    —Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)

    “One should never make one’s debut with a scandal. One should reserve that to give an interest to one’s old age.”
