Quotes about tingling (12 Quotes)





    The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.

    has 99 percent of all the feeling back. He has a little tingling in one of his shoulders. But he's got most of everything, his faculties back where they need to be. It's just when you watch him walk, he's very stiff and not very mobile and understandably so.

Children can't begin to understand what is given them, what it costs, that the cost doesn't matter. Dear God, don't let me take this day for granted. White edges every fence. Each roof is an untouched field. The honey locust offers clumps of snow like winter fruit left unpicked in its limbs. The ponderosa spreads voluminous petticoats out to dry.
