"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience." ― Emily Dickinson Topic(s): Experience More From Emily Dickinson "For love is immortality." "How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!" "Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath." More In Experience "Can advertising foist an inferior product on the consumer? Bitter experience has taught me that it cannot. On those rare occasions when I have advertised products which consumer tests have found inferior to other products in the same field, the results have been disastrous."― David Ogilvy "Sometimes I get so bold and I’m so confident about what I’m doing that I actually try to be more of a dork because it’s a really liberating feeling to experience what it’s like to not care."― John Mayer "If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience."― George Bernard Shaw
