“Golf cannot be played in anger, or in any mood of emotiional excess. Half the golf balls struck by amateurs are hit if not in rage surely in bewilderment, or gloom, or in cynicism, or even hysterically - all of those emotional excesses must be contained by the professional. Which is why balance is one of the essential ingredients of golf. Professionals invariably trudge phlegmatically around the course - whatever emotions are seething within - with the grim yet placid and bored look of cowpokes, slack-bodied in their saddles, who have been tending the same herd for two months.” IfsLooksHas BeensTwoCoursesEmotionHalfEmotionalMonthsBalanceEssentialsBallsGolfRageMoodBoredIngredientsExcessCynicismHerdsGloomGrimTwo MonthsSaddlesBewildermentGolf BallPlacidSeething Author:George Plimpton

“The scars from mental cruelty can be as deep and long-lasting as wounds from punches or slaps but are often not as obvious.

“I was actually pretty miserable in high school. I couldn't wait for it to be over. And when it finally was, I remember sitting at graduation with all these classmates getting nostalgic and emotional already and all I could think was, "Get me out of here. I never want to see you people again." So it's ironic that I spend half my day putting myself back there by choice [while writing].” PeopleThinkingWantWritingSchoolRememberChoicesWaitingHalfEmotionalHigh SchoolSittingMiserableIronicNostalgicClassmatesWant To See You Author:Sarah Dessen
“The woman is skin covered prozac I like to call her. Half the trick to a film like this is keeping a sort of emotional level going and keeping an attitude that induces creativity on the set. You have to be in a good mood for that. You have to be happy to make a comedy I think and Anne sort of ensured that every time by expressing most of her feelings through the exciting medium of dance.” ThinkingFeelingsFilmLevelsHalfAttitudeCreativityComedyEmotionalSkinsExcitingMoodTricksMediumsCoveredProzacGood Mood Author:Ryan Reynolds
“I had invited 50 or 60 peers and friends, most of whom were parents, to see the film [Trust], and I asked about the last scene. It was interesting because it was split right down the middle, 50/50. About half the audience wanted it to end with the very emotional scene between Clive and Liana, and that feeling of realization and catharsis. And, the other half were adamant about keeping that last scene.” EndsFeelingsWantedLastsFilmParentInterestingHalfAudienceMiddleEmotionalSceneRealizationSplitsPeersInvitedOther HalfCatharsisAdamant Author:David Schwimmer

“HIV criminalization is a global trend, but surprisingly Canada has some of the worst HIV laws in the world - they have incarcerated 200 people to date who have not infected anyone, and half of them are black. This is emotional manipulation that began as an anti-immigrant measure and has devolved into an exploitation of sexual anxiety. It's a crisis of meaning.” PeopleWorldLawBlackHalfWorstEmotionalAnxietyCrisisCanadaImmigrantsManipulationTrendsExploitationHiv Author:Sarah Schulman
