"Seeing other people being touched activates primary sensory areas of your brain, much like experiencing the same touch yourself would do. [...] you literally ‘feel with’ others."
Jakub Limanowski — How You Feel What Another Body Feels, Scientific American
"You are the sum total of everything you've ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot - it's all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive."
Maya Angelou
