Sensation Quotes

This sensation quotes collection explores the word from two very different angles: the physical sense of feeling, and the cultural sense of being a sensation that captures public attention. Some lines dig into how sensation is measured and understood, describing pain as sensation felt a certain way, or thought as something that grows out of a thwarted sensation. Others use the word more playfully, distinguishing being a genuine success from simply being a sensation in the moment. Read together, these quotes show how one word can describe both a private, physical experience and a very public kind of fame.

These sensation quotes explore both the physical feeling of sensation and the buzz of being a public sensation. For related ideas on where feelings begin, see our Arising quotes collection.


From pain and perception to sudden fame, sensation quotes cover a wide emotional range. Check out our Beginning and Acting quotes collections for more.
