Quotations regarding 'Sensitivity'

Choose a letter: 
Wallow too much in sensitivity and you can't deal with life, or the truth.
Neal Boortz, American Journalist (1945-  )
I'm opposed to censorship of any kind, especially by government. But it's plain common sense that producers should target their product with some kind of sensitivity.
Lee Child, British Writer
I urge calm and sensitivity to the fundamental civil liberties of our country.
Larry Craig, American Politician (1945-  )
We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it's a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend.
Betty Dodson, American Educator (1929-  )
Although economists have studied the sensitivity of import and export volumes to changes in the exchange rate, there is still much uncertainty about just how much the dollar must change to bring about any given reduction in our trade deficit.
Martin Feldstein, American Economist (1939-  )
Has feminism made us all more conscious? I think it has. Feminist critiques of anthropological masculine bias have been quite important, and they have increased my sensitivity to that kind of issue.
Clifford Geertz, American Scientist (1926-2006)
How do we know that Moses was grown up? Because he went out unto his brethren, and was ready to bear the burdens and share the plight of his people. Maturity is sensitivity to human suffering.
Julius Gordon, -
One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears.
Temple Grandin, American Educator (1947-  )
Acting is all about truth and honesty, and the sensitivity that's capable of transporting you.
Thomas Kretschmann, German Actor (1962-  )
If you want to move people, you look for a point of sensitivity, and in Egypt nothing moves people as much as religion.
Naguib Mahfouz, Egyptian Novelist (1911-2006)
Color is a matter of taste and of sensitivity.
Edouard Manet, French Artist (1832-1883)
The good moral work of art should have all the qualities that a good amoral work of art should have, such as formal unity, balance, contrast, and a sensitivity to the material out of which it is made.
Norman McLaren, Scottish Artist (1914-1987)
You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining.
Joni Mitchell, Canadian Musician (1943-  )
I think because people are passing - people that we are aware of are passing at - I don't say a great pace, but it seems like people are dropping, and I think it's just making - there's a consciousness and there's sensitivity to it.
Shemar Moore, American Actor (1970-  )
To be always in a state of wonder is a kind of sensitivity that can sometimes be an extraordinary blessing and sometimes a real pain.
Holly Near, American Musician (1949-  )
Writing a really general parser is a major but different undertaking, by far the hardest points being sensitivity to context and resolution of ambiguity.
Graham Nelson, English Mathematician
The sensitivity of men to small matters, and their indifference to great ones, indicates a strange inversion.
Blaise Pascal, French Philosopher (1623-1662)
What we think of as our sensitivity is only the higher evolution of terror in a poor dumb beast. We suffer for nothing. Our own death wish is our only real tragedy.
Mario Puzo, American Novelist (1921-1999)
But I think that sensitivity is also a good counsellor when it comes to enforcing one's interests.
Johannes Rau, German Statesman (1931-2006)
By a museum, I assume you mean an institution dedicated to the events of Sept. 11 and the aftermath. If that is done with sensitivity, I think it would be most appropriate.
David Rockefeller, American Businessman (1915-  )
