Perceive

Famous quotes containing the word perceive:

    I perceive I have not really understood any thing, not a single
    object, and that no man ever can,
    Nature here in sight of the sea taking advantage of me to dart upon me and sting me,
    Because I have dared to open my mouth to sing at all.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist’s custom.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    And as she died so must we die ourselves,
    And thence ye may perceive the world’s a dream.
    Life, how and what is it?
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
