Anya looked upon Nin admirably. Having him as a partner-in-crime—if only on this one occasion, which she hoped would only be the start of something more—was more revitalizing than the cheap thrills of a cookie-cutter shallow, superficial romance, where the top priority was how beautiful a person was on the outside.
~ Jess C. Scott
University can teach you skill and give you opportunity, but it can't teach you sense, nor give you understanding. Sense and understanding are produced within one's soul.
~ C. Joybell C.
Still, they have one thing I envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die.
~ Markus Zusak
Thorns with rose petals, beauty with imperfection, softness of insensibility, pain of love; duality of human nature
~ Val Uchendu
We sensible often resist intrusive love and its chaos practically, employing measures to prevent the former for fear of the latter. But for all our wit and work, that desperation for control also prevents the pure, transcendental freedom more often delivered by both.
~ Tiffany Madison
She was nothing more than a mere good-tempered, civil and obliging Young Woman; as such we could scarcely dislike her -- she was only an Object of Contempt
~ Jane Austen
She was sensible and clever, but eager in everything; her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation.
The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor, he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.
~ George Bernard Shaw
Art fuels the fire inside me.
~ Efrat Cybulkiewicz
Because at nightwhen others are sleeping, I drown myself in poetry.
~ Kamand Kojouri
Every penny that has always been earned with integrity by a person to lead life with a real simplicity has only perhaps helped to serve Almighty & protect and preserve humanity in the society.

An imperfect creative expression is much more sensible and creative than a grammatically perfect expression without an iota of sense and value in it.
~ Michael Bassey Johnson
Focus your attention on the quality of your words, and not the quantity, because few sensible talks attracts millions of listeners more than a thousand gibberish.
The most holy cannibalism you can perform is to eat the flesh and blood of sagacity, and by sharing it with other wisdom thirsty cannibals.
Most insensible, corrupt, cheap, disrespectful young girls run after bad, rude, cocky, nonsensical boys, but a mature, educated, thoughtful, virtuos lady opts for a wise, well breed, experienced, humble, modest gentleman.
What is this thing of intangible substance that wreaks consequential havoc on our lives? What is this sensitive thread that runs through heart and mind, and when given the slightest tremor grasps hold of all sanity, dragging the afflicted down to insufferable depths or flinging him weightless to euphoric heights? What is this magic we would deem imagination, fantasy, or pretend if not for the evidence of power manifest by human consequences? Effortlessly controlling us, it affects the infected in an instant. It takes but one word, one thought, one act to become immersed. To stop it is hopeless. To stifle it, demanding. To think to master it is both improbable and pretentious. What is this invisible hand that blinds our eyes and reigns hearts with a string? It is nature's drug and poison we call emotion.
~ Richelle E. Goodrich

~ Álvaro De Campos
Need doesn't care about being sensible.
~ Amit Kalantri
I wanted to get the tears out of the way so I could act sensibly.
~ Joan Didion
Being an artist means forever healing your own wounds and at the same time endlessly exposing them.
~ Annette Messager
Newt Gingrich has a restless and outsized intelligence that is tragically unleavened by any kind of critical sensibility.
~ John Podhoretz
We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence.
~ Rémy De Gourmont
