Life in High Sensitivity is life in full color, full volume, full awareness. It can be as merciless as it is abundant, as isolating as it is connecting. It can swallow you whole or immerse you in wonder. But it will always demand of you a response. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), quotes unique to your trait can help inspire the response that will best serve your life.

So we’re going to take refuge in the wisdom of those who live the highly sensitive life and know how to put that wisdom into words.

If the world’s volume and apparent insensitivity are overwhelming your spirit, treat yourself to a deep, healing breath and read on.

Here are 8 Highly Sensitive Person quotes that will remind you just how wonderful life is:

  1. “I am deeply moved by things. I’d hate to miss the intense joy of that.” (Dr. Elaine Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person: How To Thrive When the World Overwhelms You)

It seems only fitting to begin at the beginning, with regard to the voice that announced High Sensitivity to the world.

Dr. Aron speaks with such nuance of understanding when it comes to being an HSP. Yes, she studies HSPs. And, she is an HSP herself.

And no one truly “gets” the intensity of emotion — both positive and negative — that comes from High Sensitivity like an HSP.
