“Ninety percent of our lives is governed by emotion. Our brains merely register and act upon what is telegraphed to them by our bodily experience. Intellect is to emotion as our clothes are to our bodies; we could not very well have civilized life without clothes, but we would be in a poor way if we had only clothes without bodies.” IfsWayWellsBodyWould BeLife IsPoorEmotionBrainOur LivesClothesPercentIntellectCivilizedNinetyRegister Author:Alfred North Whitehead
“Houses are the abiding joys; they are the most emotion-stirring of all things. An automobile is regarded with fond affection, a typewriter becomes the inseparable companion, clothes can stir sentimentality, and the bit of bric-a-brac is a toy one would weep to see torn away - but houses are real, deep, emotional things. How much excitement in the cutting of a window, what enormous importance in the angle of a roof!” RealJoyHouseBitsEmotionCuttingEmotionalClothesAll ThingsWindowImportanceAffectionEnormousExcitementCompanionToysRoofAngleTornAutomobileAbidingInseparableStirringTypewritersSentimentalityEmotional ThingsBricsDeep EmotionalReal Deep Author:Rose Wilder Lane
“Most of the great works of juvenile literature are subversive in one way or another: they express ideas and emotions not generally approved of or even recognized at the time; they make fun of honored figures and piously held beliefs; and they view social pretenses with clear-eyed directness, remarking - as in Andersen's famous tale - that the emperor has no clothes.” WayIdeasLiteratureBeliefFunSocialViewsEmotionClearFiguresClothesTalesOne WayHonoredGreat WorkEmperorPretenseApprovedSubversiveJuvenileChildren's Literature Author:Alison Lurie
“The clothes that fire up my emotions are colorful and "different" pieces. My eye still picks out gilded-cloque glamour from among Burberry's streamlined trench coats or a hand-printed coat from Dries Van Noten.” StillsDifferentHandsEyeEmotionFirePiecesClothesPicksCoatsVansPrintedGlamourColorfulTrenchesGildedTrench Coats Author:Suzy Menkes
“Stupefaction overrode all other emotion when I saw this creature on the lookout, lying in wait for the game. For it was an ape, a large-sized gorilla. It was in vain that I told myself I was losing my reason: I could entertain not the slightest doubt as to his species. But an encounter with a gorilla on the planet Soror was not the essential outlandishness of the situation. This for me lay in the fact that the ape was correctly dressed, like a man of our world, and above all that he wore his clothes in such an easy manner.” MenWorldReasonFactsLyingGamesEasyWaitingAnimalEmotionSituationDoubtSawsPlanetsCreaturesEssentialsClothesLosingLaysSpeciesVainEncountersOur WorldApesGorillas Author:Pierre Boulle
