“Part of God's work in his people is synchronizing the heart and the mind thus providing freedom from the deceit of emotion-based beliefs. Emotions are changing while truth is absolute. They don't believe simply because it sounds good, or deep, beautiful, happy, fun, cool, simple, or intelligent to them; but because it's true.” PeopleMindBelieveHeartBeautifulBeliefFunSoundSimpleEmotionTruth IsAbsolutesIntelligentDon't BelieveDeceitProviding Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“To any intelligent being, there is no emotion more important than hope. Individually or collectively, we must hope that the future will be better than the past, that our offspring, and theirs after them, will be a bit closer to an ideal society, whatever our perception of that might be... It is at those times when we feel we are contributing to that ultimate end... we feel true elation.” FeelsImportantEndsMightPastBitsEmotionPerceptionIdealsUltimateIntelligentBeing ThereContributingOffspringElationIdeal Society Book:Siege of Darkness: The Legend of Drizzt Source: Siege of Darkness: The Legend of Drizzt
“In this world, man has two significant possessions: intelligence and emotion. These two possessions govern our day-to-day life. But very often we see that emotion (ego) gets the upper hand in our life. We know that even if someone is extremely intelligent, when his emotion comes to the fore it will devour him. He is compelled to do what his emotion asks him to do.” IfsKnowsMenWorldTwoHandsAsksEmotionOur LivesThis WorldEgoIntelligentPossessionSignificantDay To DayCompelledDay LifeDay To Day LifeUpper Hand Author:Sri Chinmoy

“Being singer is different than being an actor, where you call up sources from your own experience that you can apply to whatever Shakespeare drama you're in. But an actor is pretending to be somebody, a singer isn't. And that's the difference. Singers today have to sing songs where there's very little emotion involved. That and the fact that they have to sing hit records from years gone by doesn't leave a lot of room for any kind of intelligent creativity.” YearsKindLittlesDifferentFactsTodaySongActorsDifferencesRoomsEmotionCreativityGoneRecordsSourceInvolvedDramaIntelligentSingersPretendingYears Gone By Author:Bob Dylan
“Actors are professionals who deal with people's emotions and their thoughts.
