“When a society has doubts about its future, it tends to produce spokesmen whose main appeal is to the emotions, who argue from intuitions, and whose claim to be truth-bearers rests solely on intense personal feeling.” FeelingsEmotionDoubtProduceClaimsIntuitionArguingIntenseAppealsPersonal Feelings Author:Kenneth Tynan
“If one chooses sides on emotion then the rebel is the guy to go with. He is fighting for everything men claim to honour, freedom, independance, truth, the right.......all the subjective illusions.

“I killed your friends.” – Abigail “And I’m not happy about that. But your head wasn’t screwed on right. It’s easy to let the enemies in and listen to them sometimes, especially when they’re pretending to be your best friends who only want the best for you. At least that’s what they claim. They’re insidious bastards, telling you what you want to hear and using your emotions to manipulate you think doing their bidding.” – Sundown” ThinkingWantSometimesEasyEmotionEnemyClaimsWhat You WantPretendingManipulateNot HappyYour Best FriendInsidiousBiddingBe Your BestAbigail Author:Sherrilyn Kenyon
“Among all the emotions, the rich have the least talent for love. It is possible to love one's dog, dress or duck-shooting hat, but a human being presents a more difficult problem. The rich might wish to experience feelings of affection, but it is almost impossible to chip away the enamel of their narcissism. They take up all the space in all the mirrors in the house. Their children, who represent the most present and therefore the most annoying claim on their attention, usually receive the brunt of their irritation.” LoveHumansChildrenFeelingsProblemMightHouseWishDifficultHuman BeingsSpaceEmotionAttentionRichImpossibleTalentDogClaimsMirrorsDressesAffectionShootingHatsAnnoyingDucksNarcissismChipsIrritationDifficult Problems Book:Money and Class in America: Notes and Observations on the Civil Religion Source: Money and Class in America: Notes and Observations on the Civil Religion
