Taking it in its wider and generic application I understand faith to be the supplement of sense or to change the phrase all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not but not the contrary of what they see it is above not against them.

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as the creation of his senses.

When something is new to us we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.

All observers not laboring under hallucinations of the senses are agreed or can be made to agree about facts of sensible experience through evidence toward which the intellect is merely passive and over which the individual will and character have no control.

We cannot create observers by saying 'observe ' but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.

Our dreams drench us in senses and senses steps us again in dreams.

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses and from desires that make us their puppets and from the vagaries of the mind and from the hard service of the flesh.

The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind.

It is often when night looks darkest it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy.

We also maintain - again with perfect truth - that mystery is more than half of beauty the element of strangeness that stirs the senses through the imagination.

It is finally a word is untimely in three different senses and bearing it as one's treasure will not win one anyone's favours one rather risks finding oneself outside everyone's camp... Beauty is the word that shall be our first.

I believe every chess player senses beauty when he succeeds in creating situations which contradict the expectations and the rules and he succeeds in mastering this situation.

Beauty must appeal to the senses must provide us with immediate enjoyment must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.
