Famous quotes containing the words special and/or items:

“I have the handicap of being born with a special language to which I alone have the key.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

“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)
