“Do not several sorts of Rays make Vibrations of several bignesses, which according to their bigness excite Sensations of several Colours, much after the manner that the Vibrations of the Air, according to their several bignesses excite Sensations of several Sounds? And particularly do not the most refrangible Rays excite the shortest Vibrations for making a Sensation of deep violet, the least refrangible the largest form making a Sensation of deep red, and several intermediate sorts of Rays, Vibrations of several intermediate bignesses to make Sensations of several intemediate Colours?” FormSoundAirRedColourSensationsRaysVioletVibrations Author:Isaac Newton
“How can one express the indefinable sensations that one experiences while writing an instrumental composition that has no definite subject? It is a purely lyrical process. It is a musical confession of the soul, which unburdens itself through sounds just as a lyric poet expresses himself through poetry...As the poet Heine said, 'Where words leave off, music begins.'” WritingSaidSoulProcessSoundMusicSubjectsPoetMusic IsMusicalSensationsConfessionCompositionDefiniteLyricalIndefinable Author:Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.” NeedsGivingHumansChildrenLittlesStoriesYoungOrderSoundViolenceTelevisionBalanceHealthyResponseKillingSakeEndlessDietsExcitementTortureProgrammingPlotSensationsVehicleSchemesUnfamiliarYoung ChildrenPerversionMisledInsipid Author:Dorothy H Cohen
“Any young boy can nowadays explain human flight - mechanistically: " ... and to climb you shove the throttle all the way forward and pull back just a little on the stick. ... " One might as well explain music by saying that the further over to the right you hit the piano the higher it will sound. The makings of a flight are not in the levers, wheels, and pedals but in the nervous system of the pilot: physical sensations, bits of textbook, deep-rooted instincts, burnt-child memories of trouble aloft, hangar talk.” WayHumansWellsChildrenLittlesMightYoungBitsSoundMemoriesBoysTroubleHigherSticksInstinctFlightNervousPianoWheelsClimbsAviationSensationsPilotsRootedTextbooksNervous SystemLeversPedalsWay ForwardThrottle Author:Wolfgang Langewiesche
