Sensation Seeking

Famous quotes containing the words sensation and/or seeking:

“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)

“Before we go seeking man we will have to have found the lantern.—Will it have to be the Cynic’s lantern?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
