I repeat one of my mantras. 'This is not happening. This is not real. This did not happen to you. That was someone else.

Emily Andrews

Her eyes felt swollen, and she knew she looked a mess, but sometimes...sometimes the emotions were just too big to hold.

Rachel Caine

Minimizing the importance of transformed feelings makes Christian conversion less supernatural and less radical. It is humanly manageable to make decisions of the will for Christ. No supernatural power is required to pray prayers, sign cards, walk aisles, or even stop sleeping around. Those are good. They just don’t prove that anything spiritual has happened. Christian conversion, on the other hand, is a supernatural, radical thing. The heart is changed. And the evidence of it is not just new decisions, but new affections, new feelings.

John Piper

Secrets are what can ease or crush a soul, mend or destroy a heart, and rescue or murder a life.

Alexis Hurley

Alexis Hurley

The breath I take, the thoughts I think, the emotions I develop, the blood I circulate, the neurons that are wired, everything is completely controlled and has a deep meaning behind it. My soul is enlightened.

Magith Noohukhan

Douglas Self

In the game of cards, he would always get the worst hand. In the game of dice, he always got the worst numbers. By the age 7 he had already accepted that luck was not his thing. But for the first time, he wanted to get that perfect hand. For the first time he wanted to be the one, to be the one whom she would like over all others.

Naren Singh

The mouth is but a megaphone to the desires of the heart.

Kevin Thoman

Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.

Charlotte Brontë

It's more than words & somehow more than actions could ever show. It's hard to explicate this feeling I have for you, but it's one I could live out the rest of my days trying to make you understand.

David Reeves

Intellect is the virtue of ignoring one’s emotions’ attempt to contaminate one’s opinions.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Music has the power to stop time. When I listen to songs, I'm transported back to the moment of their birth, which is sometimes even before the moment of my birth. Old songs, rock or soul or blues, still connect with me because the human emotions in them, whether jealousy or rage or hope, are recognizably similar to the emotions that I'm feeling now. But I'm feeling all of them, all the time, and so the songs act like a chemical process that isolates certain feelings at certain times: maybe one song helps illuminate the jubilation and one helps illuminate the sorrow and one helps illuminate the resignation. Music has the power to stop time. But music also keeps time.

Ahmir Questlove Thompson

Jealousy knows no logic, nor does it respect reciprocity.

Jean Edward Smith

In one of his darker moments, the irony started him laughing and he couldn't stop, and the sounds that came from him, before finally tapering into sobs, were so far from mirth they might have been the forced inversion of laughter-like a soul pulled inside out to reveal its rawest meats.

Laini Taylor

Eisenhower on Patton: "Fundamentally, he is so avid for recognition as a great commander that he won't with ruthlessly suppress any habit that will jeopardize it.

Jean Edward Smith

Gian Kumar

Some dissociative parts of the personality, living in trauma time, may experience the same emotion no matter the situation, such as fear, rage, shame, sadness, yearning and even some positive ones just as joy.

Suzette Boon

It's my conceit that perhaps some diseases perceived as diseases that destroy a well-functioning machine actually turn it into a new but still well-functioning machine with a different purpose. The AIDS virus: look at it from its point of view. Very vital, very excited, really having a good time. It's really a triumph if you're a virus. See the movies from the disease's point of view. You can see why they would resist all attempts to destroy them. These are all cerebral games, but they have emotional correlatives as well.

David Cronenberg

..forever daydreaming of a kiss so sweet, angels weep..

Lenise Lee

DONNA: "She said she knew it in her heart. Do you know how many times I've been wrong about things I knew in my heart?

Aaron Sorkin

Our observer is not affected by emotional ups and downs, our personal life dramas, or by the events of the external world. It is our observer, at the core of our being, that teaches us to let go as we begin identify with it rather than with all the hubbub of our moment-to-moment experience and our mental chatter about it.

Marcey Shapiro

Since emotions are merely information, there are no good or bad, right or wrong emotions.

Marcey Shapiro

Don't cry for the dead, for the dead is deaf, dumb, blind, lame, unemotional and dead.

Michael Bassey Johnson

Ever since people first existed, they have been doing all the things we label "codependent." They have worried themselves sick about other people. They have tried to help in ways that didn't help. They have said yes when they meant no. They have tried to make other people see things their way. They have bent over backwards avoiding hurting people's feelings and, in so doing, have hurt themselves. They have been afraid to trust their feelings. They have believed lies and then felt betrayed. They have wanted to get even and punish others. They have felt so angry they wanted to kill. They have struggled for their rights while other people said they didn't have any. They have worn sackcloth because they didn't believe they deserved silk.

Melody Beattie

If I let a little of the emotion out, all of it will come out, and it will never end.

Veronica Roth

At the end of the day it’s not ‘what looks good’ that matters, it’s ‘what feels’ good.

Maddy Malhotra

To experience positive/healthy emotions you don’t need a big house or a nice car or a managerial job or a million dollar in your bank.

Maddy Malhotra

As everyone knows, there is often a rather fine line between laughing and crying

E B White

I have never taken sides, never leaped wholeheartedly into one scale or the other; nor do I realize disappointments, provided they are severe, until the occasion is long past. Yet I am ruled by my emotions, though I murder them at birth.

Geoffrey Household

Even though people may be well known, they hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth: birth, marriage and death.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

As fleeting emotions stalk it, a face can leak fear or the guilt of a forming lie.

Diane Ackerman

The Christian stoic who has crushed his feelings is only two-thirds of a man; an important third part has been repudiated. Holy feeling had an important place in the life of our Lord. “For the joy that was set before Him” He endured the cross and despised its shame. He pictured Himself crying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.

A.W. Tozer

The realization that my grandmother, mother and I are one in the same awakens something mysterious inside of me. The person I am, someone I believe has more opportunities than my mom and grandmother in matters of work, relationships and love is true, yet I am still acting out old belief patterns. I am no better or smarter than either one of them. Our basic needs and emotions in life are the similar. Our experiences differ, but we are one and the same. This conscious awakening is surreal.

Sadiqua Hamdan

Her mask gave no sign of how this affected her.

Donna Leon

I became aware of just how fleeting the sense of happiness was, and how flimsy its basis: a warm restaurant after having come in from the rain, the smell of food and wine, interesting conversation, daylight falling weakly on the polished cherrywood of the tables. It took so little to move the mood from one level to another, as one might push pieces on a chessboard. Even to be aware of this, in the midst of a happy moment, was to push one of those pieces, and to become slightly less happy.

Teju Cole

Emotions are the colors of the soul; they are spectacular and incredible. When you don't feel, the world becomes dull and colorless.

William Paul Young

Breakfast seemed to be a good time for throwing your emotions around. Jodie said that at this place emotions were like Frisbees – people just tossed them around all day long like they were at a park.

Benjamin Alire Sáenz

We are often reminded how peaceful our world has become, a world without a police force or prison, where crimes and uprisings have nearly disappeared. But we’ve paid a price. The emotional root of all conflict — fear, anger, love, especially love — is prohibited. The goal of our schooling is to master a life of total self-control. A life without wrinkles, without feeling, without soul.

Jonathan Friesen

You are not your emotions and they are not who you are, only how you feel at the moment.

Toni Sorenson

(...) I do want to leave, in the desperate way that an animal wants to escape a trap. Wild and rabid. Ready to gnaw through bone.

Veronica Roth

Politics was at once clinical and human, driven by principles and passions that he (the leader) had to master and harness for the good of the whole.

Jon Meacham

The poem is the point at which our strength gave out.

Richard Rosen

We humans are such complicated and confused beings that we call the animals beasts.

Cristiane Serruya

Over intellect will make you a genius, over emotions will make you a lunatic.

Amit Kalantri

In the years since, I learned that when I am missing Berk or Asta, I can play my tears through my instruments. And the Monitors think I am just improving. They don't know the truth. I play laughter and frustration. I play feelings I cannot define. But the music defines them for me.

Krista McGee

While genes are pivotal in establishing some aspects of emotionality, experience plays a central role in turning genes on and off. DNA is not the heart’s destiny; the genetic lottery may determine the cards in your deck, but experience deals the hand you can play. Scientists have proven, for example, that good mothering can override a disadvantageous temperament.(152)

Thomas Lewis

I suspect that for a good deal of the time you live in a sort of glass case, not knowing real enthusiasm or genuine emotion; or feeling them perhaps at second hand, feeling them sometimes because you think you ought to, not because you really do.

Winston Graham

Sometimes it's not that you "fell out of love" it's that you finally came to the realization that you were never truly "in love" to begin with.

Stephan Labossiere

I am turned into a dream. I feel nothing, or I don't know what I feel. Yet it seems to me I am happy.

D.H. Lawrence

I'd like to see much more understanding of emotional issues around hurt, abandonment, disappointment, longing, failure and shame, where they stem from and how they drive people and policies brought into public discourse.

Susie Orbach

No matter the situation, never let your emotions overpower your intelligence.

Ziad K. Abdelnour

Focusing on the past is only a barricade to the future. Once you overcome that barricade, the possibilities are endless.

Brandon Cella

Humankind has not learned about balance, let alone practiced it. It is guided by greed and ambition, steered by fear. In this way it will eventually destroy itself. But nature will survive; at least the plants will.

Brian L. Weiss

I had always thought that sorrow was the most exhausting of the emotions. Now I knew that it was anger.

Helen Garner

If you have ever successfully resisted getting angry, then you know what it is like to resist a demon.

Alexei Maxim Russell

This girl is the rest of my life.

Colleen Hoover

When we got back home, Gramps dropped me off and enveloped me in a hug. Normally, he was a handshaker, maybe a back-patter on really special occasions. His hug was strong and tight, and I knew it was his way of telling me that he'd had a wonderful time.“Me, too, Gramps,” I whispered.

Gayle Forman
