Find Items

Famous quotes containing the words find and/or items:

“just like you sitting
there they come and talk to me, just the same.

They come to bother us. Why? I said I don’t
know. Perhaps to find out what we are doing.
Jealous, do you think? I don’t know.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

“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)
