Famous quotes containing the words exchange and/or act:
“I sometimes feel a great ennui, profound emptiness, doubts which sneer in my face in the midst of the most spontaneous satisfactions.

—Gustave Flaubert (18211880)
“To perceive means to immobilize ... we seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself.”
—Henri Bergson (18591941)
