Famous quotes containing the words subtle and/or sensations:
“The half-caught smile,
the subtle little sort of differentiating
between the thing that’s said
and that’s said not;
the “have I seen you somewhere else?
forgot? impossible.””
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“I think sometimes that it is almost a pity to enjoy Italy as much as I do, because the acuteness of my sensations makes them rather exhausting; but when I see the stupid Italians I have met here, completely insensitive to their surroundings, and ignorant of the treasures of art and history among which they have grown up, I begin to think it is better to be an American, and bring to it all a mind and eye unblunted by custom.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
