A man's mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.

About This Quote

This is an interesting saying that refers to the way our minds are expanded by new experiences and feelings. We often find ourselves so shocked by something unexpected that we can’t believe it happened. A new experience or idea can expand our minds so much that it seems impossible to go back to our old ways.
