Direct Perception

Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or perception:

“He had robbed the body of its taint, the world’s taunts of their sting; he had shown her the holiness of direct desire.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

“The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves. A rogue alive to the ludicrous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-men can do little for him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
