Eko brushed a tear from her eye, and Immo jeered at her, but father held up a hand. "Never mock a tender heart," he said.
Orson Scott Card
It is not a surprise that there are people we love and hate at the same time. Not as though we hate them, but we hate how they don't love us.
Michael Bassey Johnson
A critic can call any poem 'doggerel.' That is no more than a slur. 'Doggerel' or 'maudlin' or 'sappy' or 'sentimental' is in the ear of the listener. By the by, 'sentimental' is okay as it is defined as 'marked or governed by feeling, sensibility, or emotional idealism.' It is 'sentimentality' that is to be avoided, like the fiddleback spider, being as it is 'the quality or state of being sentimental to excess or in affectation.' Again we are faced with a judgement call and must keep a sharp eye on our outpourings to insure they are not overly gooey.The intellectual elite probably believe that most of the lyrics songwriters create are 'doggerel' of one kind or another--that is to say 'trivial"......the young songwriter has now been warned about the implacable nature of the enemy. Under a rather large umbrella, preferred twentieth-century taste in art of all kinds has been characterized by a kind of detachment, or sangfroid. It is simply not chic to be carried away in one's emotional reaction to a subject. All serious communication or complaint must be carefully wrapped in a protective coating of irony and/or satire.
Jimmy Webb
When you get caught up on other peoples' problems, solve them with caution so you don't suffer the excessive burdens of regrets.
Darmie O-Lujon
Everything is a tool - a boot, a sled, a dog - and a hand, an arm, even a man! If it breaks down you throw it away and you march on! It's brutal, yes! And it's ugly. But anything else is sentiment and it will kill you.
Ted Tally
Within he felt that faint stirring of derision for the whole business of life which is the salt of the American mentality. Outwardly they are sentimental and enthusiastic and inwardly they are profoundly cynical.
H.G.Wells
Love is not an idea, not a feeling, not a sensation, not a sentiment, not a passion, not even an emotion. It is becoming and being not... Ultimate nothingness! Complete self-annihilation!
Raheel Farooq
No...No...We don't walk away but when we're holding on to something precious we run. We run away. We run as fast as we can.
The Doctor
Has it ever happened to you," Léon went on, "to come across some vague idea of one's own in a book, some dim image that comes to you from afar, and as the completest expression of your own slightest sentiment?
Gustave Flaubert
Religion is not a book, it is a neurological sentiment.
Abhijit Naskar
From early childhood his mother had taught him that to discuss in public a profound emotional experience-which, in the open air, immediately evanesces and fades, and, oddly, becomes similar to an analogous experience of one's interlocutor-was not only vulgar, but also a sin against sentiment.
Vladimir Nabokov
Sentiment has never been unpopular except with a few sick persons who are made sicker by the sight of a child, a glimpse of a wedding, or the thought of a happy home.
Oscar Hammerstein II
The things we place greatest value upon are prioritised by their context in our lives.
Fennel Hudson
Not all experience the same sentiment while doing the same exact activity.
Efrat Cybulkiewicz
I'm convinced that whatever contains human emotions is composed of the most fragile material, for it can shatter unpredictably and without effort. And yet it is a resilient marvel as well, able to mend instantly as though never affected.
Richelle E. Goodrich
We think we should have to work in order to feel. We want to have our cake resist us; and then we want to eat it, too.
Leslie Jamison
Bad movies and bad writing and easy cliches still manage to make us feel things toward each other. Part of me is disgusted by this. Part of me celebrates it.
Leslie Jamison
Don't be blurred by impulse, to avoid regrets, refrain from doing things that will make you regret.
Michael Bassey Johnson
Tolerance never exists without negative judgment. It is the sentiment of having a negative opinion about something yet still putting up with it.
Criss Jami
The West's post-Holocaust pledge that genocide would never again be tolerated proved to be hollow, and for all the fine sentiments inspired by the memory of Auschwitz, the problem remains that denouncing evil is a far cry from doing good.
Philip Gourevitch
Sentiments, as I have found, can be harvested from places where our memories are fondest.
Fennel Hudson
When a man's neck's in danger, he doesn't stop to think too much about sentiment.
Agatha Christie
I see a cathedral, for instance, one that’s stood for centuries and I marvel and I wonder... How many people passed through the doors? What did they pray for? How many wars did they wish to see ended? How many christenings, weddings, and funerals? Same thing with a record, I guess. Who bought it? Did they ever make love while it was playing? How many times did they read the notes in the cover? Did a song on the album change their life? I suppose it's odd to think about things like that.
Benjamin R. Smith
Pretty Stones
Virginia Woolf
In the chain of events, it is arbitrary to be sentimental about the passing of any one link.
Johnny Rich
Its all about perception, that is how you look at. Your own thoughts and outlook defines whether it is good or bad. And your definition determines your response.
Stella Payton
Its all about perspective, that is how you look at things. Your own thoughts and outlook defines whether an experience, event, situation whatever is good or bad. And your definition determines your response.
Stella Payton
Creativity is not intelligence, it is the ability to do what you did not know through the use of what you know.
Michael Bassey Johnson
For her, sex was nothing more than an itch. And this phsychological and physiological neutrality of hers at once relieved her of so many human emotions and sentiments and desires. Sexual neutrality was the essence of coldness in an individual. It was a great and wonderful thing to be born with.
Ian Fleming
We violate the innocence of things in the name of rationality so we can wander about, uninterrupted, in our search for passion and sentiment.
Marlena de Blasi
Always try to come back to your senses when in love, because that's the moment you become almost carried away by sensuality and sentiments.
Michael Bassey Johnson
Life is more fragile and precious than I can comprehend, but believe me, I'm trying.
John O'Callaghan
(...) an inner feeling called "Stimmung" by the germans and best translated as sentiment (it is to be regreted that this word, sentiment, which is meant to describe the poetical efforts of an artist living soul, has been misused and finally, ridiculed. Was there ever a great word that the masses did not try immediatly to cheapen and desecrate?) (...)
Wassily Kandinsky
Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.
Edward Abbey
There is a sentiment common among most of us when it comes to love—letting go can feel scary.
Sharon Salzberg
What we need now are heroes and heroines, about a million of them, one brave deed is worth a thousand books. Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.
Edward Abbey
When there is deep love the heart breathes sentimental sighs.
Bluenscottish
He returned her gaze, yearning for sentimental solace; love which emanated from a familiar source, mattered little how bedevilling. They shared an intimate moment, a silent tête-à-tête, which seemed to confront doubts each harboured.
A.H. Septimius
Just an emotional response of sentiments will only lead to tiredness and weariness.
Sunday Adelaja
- A sentyment staje się uciążliwy. W końcu jest coś nazbyt fizycznego w próbie zachowania cząstki dzieciństwa na swoim mostku. - Nie pan pierwszy sprowadza wiarę do zmysłu dotyku.
Vladimir Nabokov
Some people will tell you there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We have all heard of these things before. The love letter arriving as the teacup falls. The guitar striking up as the last breath sounds out. I don't attribute it to God or to sentiment. Perhaps it's a chance. Or perhaps chance is just another way to try to convince ourselves that we are valuable.
Colum McCann
If it’s going to be a world with no time for sentiment, it’s not a world that I want to live in.
Christopher Isherwood
I remember when your name was just another name that rolled without thought off my tongue.Now, I can’t look at your name without an abundance of sentiment attached to each lettter.Your name, which I played with so carelessly, so easily, has somehow become sacred to my lips.A name I won’t throw around lightheartedly or repeat without deep thought.And if ever I speak of you, I use the English language to describe who you were to me. You are nameless, because those letters grouped together in that familiar form….. carries too much meaning for my capricious heart.
