“The abstract intelligence produces a fatigue that's the worst of all fatigues. It doesn't weigh on us like bodily fatigue, nor disconcert like the fatigue of emotional experience. It's the weight of our consciousness of the world, a shortness of breath in our soul.” WorldSoulConsciousnessWorstProduceEmotionalWeightBreathsAbstractFatigueShortness Author:Fernando Pessoa
“As long as we are focusing on the breath we do not feed our mental, emotional, and physical patterns. By returning to the breath again and again we start to dissolve their power. We develop a space between experience and our identification with it, thereby weakening the process that creates habits in the first place.” FirstsLongProcessSpaceEmotionalHabitBreathsPatternsAgain And AgainIdentificationSpace BetweenWeakening Author:Martine Batchelor
“The breath is seen to be the key between the emotional state, the mental state and physical state. It is perhaps the most important tool, and it's one whose importance is underestimated in the West.” ImportantStatesEmotionalKeysToolsImportanceBreathsWestUnderestimated Author:Paul Harvey
“For me the breath really is the tool which allows you to understand what's happening on the mental level and what's happening on the emotional level, and it also allows you to measure what's happening on a physical level.” LevelsEmotionalHappeningsToolsBreaths Author:Paul Harvey
“But when you are doing an animated voice, it has to have more energy than usual or it falls flat and doesn't work. For myself, I found that I had to put myself in the same physical or emotional state as Sid, in order to make that voice sound alive and authentic. So if there was a scene in which he was running, I would be running beforehand to sound out of breath. That's important because the audience can tell intuitively if it does not sound real.” IfsDoeImportantRealStatesWould BeRunningOrderFallFoundEnergySoundVoiceAudienceAliveEmotionalSceneBreathsFlatsUsualAnimatedSids Author:John Leguizamo
“I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn't work. You end up with the original pain, as well as new pain added on top of it from the tactics you used trying to avoid it in the first place. It's best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it.” PeopleWayTryingFirstsWellsKindEndsPainUsedWalksSawsEmotionalGrewGrew UpSingingBreathsOriginalsBarsAll KindsTacticsEmotional PainDeep BreathTake A Deep BreathOutrun Author:Jewel
“What we, or at any rate what I, refer to confidently as memory--meaning a moment, a scene, a fact that has been subjected to a fixative and thereby rescued from oblivion--is really a form of storytelling that goes on continually in the mind and often changes with the telling. Too many conflicting emotional interests are involved for life ever to be wholly acceptable, and possibly it is the work of the storyteller to rearrange things so that they conform to this end. In any case, in talking about the past we lie with every breath we draw.” MindHas BeensEndsMomentsFactsPastFormLyingInterestMemoriesTalkingCasesEmotionalGoes OnInvolvedSceneDrawsBreathsRateStorytellingAcceptableConformStorytellerOblivion Book:So Long, See You Tomorrow Source: So Long, See You Tomorrow
“I think it takes an amazing amount of energy to convince oneself that the Forever Person isn't just around the corner. In the end I believe we never do convince ourselves. I know that I found it increasingly hard to maintain the pose of emotional self-sufficiency lying on my bed and sitting at my desk, watching the gulls cartwheeling in the clouds over the bridges, cradling myself in my own arms, breathing warm chocolate-and-vodka breath on a rose I had found on a street corner, trying to force it to bloom.” ThinkingKnowsTryingBelievePersonsEndsSelfHardLyingFoundEnergyForceI BelieveMy OwnForeverStreetsEmotionalArmsAmountBedSittingBreathsRoseCloudsOneselfCornersWarmBreathingBridgesConvinceChocolateDesksAround The CornerSelf SufficiencySufficiencyVodkaStreet CornersGulls Book:Life After God Source: Life After God
“Kylie bit down on her lip. Burnett took a step forward. He squared his shoulders, empathy filling his eyes. He took a deep, apparent heartfelt breath and looked at Kylie. She nodded at him as if giving him the lead. He looked back at Holiday and, in a deep voice, said, "Kylie has something to tell you." Kylie's mouth fell open and right then she knew it was official.
