Famous quotes containing the words shift and/or states:

    I will use the world and sift it,
    To a thousand humors shift it,
    As you spin a cherry.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale—identity must always be dull company. The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating difference which causes excitement and opens communication, in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of mind attainable but not actual.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
