Famous quotes containing the words temperature and/or sensitive:
“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“Pity in a man of knowledge seems almost laughable, like sensitive hands on a cyclops.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
