Hermann von Helmholtz Quotes
As you are aware, no perceptions obtained by the senses are merely sensations impressed on our nervous systems.

The sensations of our nerves of sense are mere symbols indicating certain external objects, and it is usually only after considerable practice that we acquire the power of drawing correct conclusions from our sensations respecting the corresponding objects.
