Physical Contact

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or contact:

“It seems to me that physical sickness softens, just as moral sickness hardens, the heart.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“Who among us has not, in moments of ambition, dreamt of the miracle of a form of poetic prose, musical but without rhythm and rhyme, both supple and staccato enough to adapt itself to the lyrical movements of our souls, the undulating movements of our reveries, and the convulsive movements of our consciences? This obsessive ideal springs above all from frequent contact with enormous cities, from the junction of their innumerable connections.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
