Referred Sensations

Famous quotes containing the words referred and/or sensations:

“You can hardly convince a man of an error in a life-time, but must content yourself with the reflection that the progress of science is slow. If he is not convinced, his grandchildren may be. The geologists tell us that it took one hundred years to prove that fossils are organic, and one hundred and fifty more to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
