Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Thoughts are the shadows of our sensations -- always darker, emptier, simpler than these.

Thoughts are the shadows of our sensations -- always darker,

Summary

This quote suggests that our thoughts, which are a reflection of our experiences and sensations, may never fully capture the richness, complexity, and depth of those experiences. It implies that thoughts are like shadows â€“ they lack the vibrancy, depth, and intricacies of our sensations, offering a simplified and less vivid representation of reality. The quote encourages us to embrace and value our sensory experiences as they are, rather than relying solely on our thoughts to understand and interpret them.
