What is sensitive?

Famous quotes containing the word sensitive:

    Peasants are a rude lot, and hard: life has hardened their hearts, but they are thick and awkward only in appearance; you have to know them. No one is more sensitive to what gives man the right to call himself a man: good-heartedness, bravery and virile brotherhood.
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    Far star that tickles for me my sensitive plate
    And fries a couple of ebon atoms white....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Pity in a man of knowledge seems almost laughable, like sensitive hands on a cyclops.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
