Excited States

Famous quotes containing the words excited and/or states:

“What drivel it all is!... A string of words called religion. Another string of words called philosophy. Half a dozen other strings called political ideals. And all the words either ambiguous or meaningless. And people getting so excited about them they’ll murder their neighbours for using a word they don’t happen to like. A word that probably doesn’t mean as much as a good belch. Just a noise without even the excuse of gas on the stomach.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“Life is a series of sensations connected to different states of consciousness.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
