“I am constantly astonished by the people, otherwise intelligent, who think that anything so complex and delicate as a marriage can be left to take care of itself. One sees them fussing about all sorts of lesser concerns, apparently unaware that side by side with them often in the same bed a human creature is perishing from lack of affection, of emotional malnutrition.” PeopleThinkingHumansCareLeftSidesEmotionalBedCreaturesConcernIntelligentComplexesAffectionTake CareDelicateMalnutritionPerishingFussing Author:Robertson Davies
“Psychohistory, like psychoanalysis, is a science in which the researcher's feelings are as much or even more a part of his research equipment than his eyes or his hands. Weighing of complex motives can only be accomplished by identification with human actors, the usual suppression of all feeling preached and followed by most "science" simply cripples a psychohistorian as badly as it would cripple a biologist to be forbidden the use of a microscope. The emotional development of a psychohistorian is therefore as much a topic for discussion as his or her intellectual development.” HumansUseFeelingsHandsEyeActorsEmotionalDevelopmentIntellectualResearchComplexesDiscussionMotiveHis EyesAccomplishedUsualTopicsEquipmentForbiddenPsychoanalysisResearchersIdentificationSuppressionMicroscopesBiologistCripplesWeighingIntellectual DevelopmentEmotional Development Author:Lloyd deMause
“The delight of the Torah is ignited by an inner awareness. A man begins to sense the great tapestry of each letter and point. Every concept and content, every notion and idea, of every spiritual movement, of every vibration, intellectual and emotional, from the immediate and general to the distant and detailed, from matters lofty, spiritual, and ethical according to their outward profile, to matters practical, obligatory, seemingly frightening, and forceful, and at the same time complex and full of content and great mental exertion - all together become known by a supernal holy awareness.” MenIdeasMatterTogetherSpiritualKnownAwarenessMovementEmotionalHolyIntellectualConceptsLettersComplexesNotionDelightPracticalsGreat MenEthicalFrighteningVibrationsLoftyProfileExertionTapestryTorah Author:Abraham Isaac Kook
“George Orwell was right. There's no greater genius as far as I'm concerned in terms of understanding human nature. I think that a lot of people just believe anything you tell them, and no matter what it is, they just go along with the program. They're perfectly happy to take their pill every day and do what they're told, and work and buy things, and work and buy things, and stay out of any complex emotional situations. And whatever the authorities tell them to do, they do, and whatever the authorities say is the truth, they believe is the truth.” PeopleThinkingBelieveHumansMatterUnderstandingTermSituationGreaterHuman NatureEmotionalGeniusAuthorityConcernedProgramNo Matter WhatComplexesPillsJust Believe Author:George Lucas

“A new world of complex relationships and feelings opens up when the peer group takes its place alongside the family as the emotional focus of the child's life. Early peer relationships contribute significantly to the child's ability to participate in a group (and in that sense, society), deal with competition and disappointment, enjoy the intimacy of friendships, and intuitively understand social relationships as they play out at school, in the neighborhood, and later in the workplace and adult family.” WorldChildrenPlayFeelingsSchoolSocialEnjoyAbilityDealsFocusGroupsEmotionalAdultsCompetitionComplexesDisappointmentIntimacyNeighborhoodNew WorldPeersWorkplaceSocial RelationshipsPeer GroupComplex Relationships Author:Stanley Greenspan
“But look at Avatar (2009), one of the most globally viewed pieces of entertainment to have ever been made - the central emotional event of the whole movie was a tree being cut down.
