“I would then say that there are two kinds of feeling. The first is to feel in the sense of concentrating your emotions on something immediately available for your understanding: you make your understanding out of the emotions you have about it. The second is to feel in the sense of being affected without trying to understand: something is felt, you do not know what, and it is more important to feel it than to try to understand it, since once you try to understand it you no longer feel it.” KnowsFeelsTryingFirstsKindTwoImportantFeelingsFeltUnderstandingEmotionAvailableAffectedStanding OutConcentratingUnderstanding You Author:Laura Riding

“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
“... But all the feelings that evoke in us the joy or the misfortune of a real person are only produced in us through the intermediary of an image of that joy or that misfortune; the ingeniousness of the first novelist was in understanding that, in the apparatus of our emotions, since the image is the only essential element, the simplification which consists of purely and simply suppressing the factual characters is a definitive improvement.” FirstsPersonsRealCharacterFeelingsJoyUnderstandingEmotionFictionEssentialsElementsImprovementNovelistsMisfortunesEvokeFactualReal PersonSimplificationSuppressing Author:Marcel Proust
“Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others' reasons for action, or the basis of others' emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.” PeopleSelfReasonShowsActionUnderstandingEmotionTeacherChildhoodFashionPerceptionAppreciateFunctionBasesDepthMaturityInvolvementEmergingSelf CenterednessCenterednessPerception Of Others Author:Terri E Apter

“Someone with a fresh mind, one not conditioned by upbringing and environment, would doubtless look at science and the powerful reductionism that it inspires as overwhelmingly the better mode of understanding the world, and would doubtless scorn religion as sentimental wishful thinking. Would not that same uncluttered mind also see the attempts to reconcile science and religion by disparaging the reduction of the complex to the simple as attempts guided by muddle-headed sentiment and intellectually dishonest emotion?” ThinkingWorldMindLooksUnderstandingSimplePowerfulEmotionEnvironmentInspireComplexesSentimentsSentimentalScience And ReligionScornUpbringingReductionReconcileWishful ThinkingMuddleReductionismDisparagingUnderstanding The World Author:Peter Atkins
“Awakening is waking up from the daytime dream and realizing that who you thought you were is not limited to thought, emotion or form. Beyond the imaginary seeker, beyond concepts and beliefs, there is a field of innocence and purity. We are this deep peace and sacredness, which is absolute and beyond all intellectual understanding. I invite you to recognize this Essence of Being and to directly realize the illusion of all psychological suffering due to misidentification, misperception of separation and attachment to conditioned thought.” DreamFormSufferingBeliefUnderstandingRealizingEmotionFieldsIntellectualIllusionConceptsEssenceWake UpAbsolutesDuesAwakeningSeparationPsychologicalInnocencePurityAttachmentWakingInvitesImaginarySeekersDaytimeSacrednessMisperception Author:Katie Davis
“I do believe that we all are, fundamentally, divided creatures. Emotions split from intellect, spirit from flesh and far too often sexuality is disconnected from what we feel, and are, as total human beings.
