Famous Quotes & Sayings

Theodore Dreiser

Innate sensuousness rarely has any desire for accuracy, no desire for precise information. It basks in sunshine, bathes in color, dwells in a sense of the impressive and the gorgeous, and rests there.

True controlling sensuousness cannot be manifested in the most active dispositions, nor again in the most accurate.
