Examples

“His head made an impression on the pillow.”

“He tried to make⟳ a good impression on his parents.”

“Their empires, triumphs, conquests, and projects, have⟳ left little impression behind them, notwithstanding the attention they once attracted, and the violent convulsions which they caused in the state of the world.”

“The stories did not seem to me to touch⟳ life. […] They left me with the impression of a well-delivered stereopticon lecture⟳, with characters about as life-like as the shadows on the screen, and whisking on and off, at the mercy of the operator.”

“Though most of the cases here cover⟳ European encounters with non-Europeans, it is not the intention of the book to give⟳ the impression that genocide is a function of European colonialism and imperialism alone.”

“I have⟳ the impression that he's already left for Paris.”

“Publishers are paid for each ad impression their site generates.”

“Let⟳ us, therefore, use⟳ a little freedom, and call⟳ them Impressions; employing that word in a sense⟳ somewhat different from the usual. By the term impression, then, I mean⟳ all our more lively perceptions, when we hear⟳, or see⟳, or feel⟳, or love⟳, or hate⟳, or desire, or will. And impressions are distinguished from ideas, which are the less lively perceptions, of which we are conscious, when we reflect⟳ on any of those sensations or movements above mentioned.”
