Heightened Senses Quotes

“...every word, every breath was too loud, every smell too strong, the light too bright. Keeping still throughout it all was easier than moving, than adjusting to the strange, strong body that was now mine. I couldn't even touch my hair without the slight difference in my fingers jarring me.

― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“But it was no ordinary wakening. All of his senses had burst open as if he were a vessel and the world was pouring in.”
― Sylvia Maultash Warsh, The Orphan
