“The fact of the matter is that, since we are determined always to keep our feelings to ourselves, we have never given any thought to the manner in which we should express them. And suddenly there is within us a strange and obscene animal making itself heard, whose tones may inspire as much alarm in the person who receives the involuntary, elliptical and almost irresistible communication of one's defect or vice as would the sudden avowal indirectly and outlandishly proffered by a criminal who can no longer refrain from confessing to a murder of which one had never imagined him to be guilty.” ShouldMayPersonsMatterFactsFeelingsGivenAnimalEmotionHeardInspireStrangeCommunicationMurderVicesDeterminedCriminalsGuiltyToneDefectsAlarmsIrresistibleRefrainObsceneInvoluntaryConfessing Book:In Search of Lost Time, Volume III: The Guermantes Way Source: In Search of Lost Time, Volume III: The Guermantes Way

“The sense that a man is serving a Higher than himself, with a service which will become ever more and more perfect freedom, evokes more profound, more humbling, more exalted emotions than any thing else in the world can do.

“The idea of Rambo is kind of intriguing as a closing chapter. When you shoot a film as a sequel to do another sequel it's a whole other tone. But when you know it's the final chapter you try and put in there as much emotion, understanding and closure as you can. So, whereas Rocky is a lighter character and optimistic, Rambo is much darker.” KnowsTryingKindIdeasWholeCharacterFilmUnderstandingEmotionFinalsOptimisticToneChaptersClosingIntriguingLightersSequelsClosureRambo Author:Sylvester Stallone
“The inspiration is all in the script, in the text. So whatever it is, either it is a film or a book to be illustrated, anything. Everything you need to know is in the text.

“I think the emotion that song carries makes it good. Because you have to produce around something - an emotional attachment and a feeling. The melody itself has a feeling in it. The keys, the tones, frequency, sonics, all of those have feelings in it. Like, it's the ghost within, the music itself. That's what makes the song even have a possibility of being great. The emotional connection. Because if you don't have that, I don't think you really have a song.” IfsThinkingFeelingsSongEmotionPossibilityProduceEmotionalKeysConnectionsGhostToneCarrieAttachmentMelodyFrequencyEmotional Connection Author:The-Dream
