Emotions Quotes

“Chciałem leczyć uczucia niezakwalifikowane jako cierpienie i niezdiagnozowane przez medycynę. Wszystkie owe śladowe emocje, porywy, którymi nie interesuje się żaden terapeuta rzekomo właśnie z powodu ich znikomości czy nieuchwytności. Na przykład poczucie, że znów kończy się lato. Albo uświadomienie sobie, że nie ma się już całego życia na szukanie swojego miejsca. Albo mała żałoba, kiedy nie udało się zbliżyć w jakiejś przyjaźni i trzeba znów szukać bratniej duszy. Lub też poranna melancholia w dzień urodzin. Tęsknota za zapachem powietrza z dzieciństwa.”

“Most binds involve metaphors, emotions, feelings, human qualities. Thus, the binds mostly prompt us to be rational, push us to decide one way or another, to declare when something is wrong or good; this reflexive spark is generated by a bind. Reasoning is a secondary process, and exists only to reinforce the initial bind.”

“At the surface of our life we are conscious of the many pressing problems that beset us, the conflicts, the anxieties, the angers, the decisions that we feel we must urgently make. But one reason that theIntensive Journal method has been effective for many people is that it practices an indirect approach to slowing our life problems. Rather than move head-on to encounter problems in the external form in which they appear in our lives, we step back and move inward to meet them at a deeper level.”

“Are you troubled?" Moussa asked, his voice gentle with concern. "No," she said. "I was only thinking of my mar- riage." It was true, so she didn't understand why she hated herself instantly for saying it. She thought Moussa's head jerked a little at the words. After that he was uncharacteristically quiet and for the first time in nearly four days they rode in a sad unnatural silence that was as suffocating as the desert heat. Suddenly each stride of the camel seemed interminable, and Daia didn't know what to do. One part of her wanted journey to end quickly, wanted to arrive in Abalessa where all the confusion might end. The rest of her, most of her, wanted their journey to last forever.”

“The more you try to please your emotional whims, the more insane you will get. Emotions are to be understood and tamed, not to rule; if you completely followed all of your emotions all the time, you'd be incapable of functioning. However, we now live in a society based off emotion, which is very clearly self-evident if you just look outside. [...] In our society we have this ideal of fairness, of giving 50/50 to both sides, and the reality though is that being fair is saying the truth, and we don't actually follow this ideal”

“Telling our personal stories, naming and acknowledging our experiences, it's fundamentally how human beings makes sense of our world... When we don't or can't tell us stories, they manifest in other ways. Emotions need a voice. Without it they seek out eventually.”

“Stuck with a pile of tumultuous feelings about her friend, your daughter handed those feelings off to you. Now she can go out and play happily, while you are the one with the overload of feelings. In his book Playful Parenting, Larry Cohen calls this the game of emotional hot potato. We are sitting ducks for this game because we are hardwired to empathize with our child. We have to make sure we don’t overreact because we were the last ones left with the potato.”

“Othe mera ghar Othe hi hai rab Othe meri jaan Othe vasse sab - Kiwen main kawaan Te Kawaan kinnu Ohio hai junoon Othe meri rooh -- Jithe jithe, othe jithe Jithe jithe, othe jithe Jithe vee hai tu, ek tu Jithe jaaven tu, ek tu Jithe vee hain tu, ek tu Othe jithe tu, ek tu --- Na labban manzil Na hi koi raah Sunda te hovega Haiga je khuda - Dilon je Mango Kehnde milju Kujh hor nai chahida mainnu - Khushi ohde Hathin Socheya ni kyu Labb leya bhaven Khoke khud nu -- Ohio hai ikko Othe mera sukoon Ohio hai junoon Othe meri rooh --- Jithe jithe, othe jithe Jithe jithe, othe jithe Jithe vee hai tu, ek tu Jithe jaaven tu, ek tu Jithe vee hain tu, ek tu Othe jithe tu, ek tu”

“Kitne saleeke, iss zindagi ke.. Logon ne sikhaaye, kuch hum ne gir ke seekhe. - Gairon ne haske, kaafi gham baante.. Thode doston ke, hisse se chaante! -- Kitne saleeke, iss zindagi ke.. Logon ne sikhaaye, kuch hum ne gir ke seekhe. --- Jeene ke tareeqe, khusi mein ro ke.. They Kabhi tanha, bheed mein hoke. Uljhi ranjishein, dil se bhulaake.. Haar ko muskuraate, Gale lagaake. - Kuch dard piye, jhoothey sach kadwe.. kabhi hasi ke pal, thode feeke feeke.. -- Kitne saleeke, iss zindagi ke.. Logon ne sikhaaye, kuch humne gir ke seekhe.”

“My throat starts to dry up right after and I feel my heart racing and that stupid lump forming in my throat again, the one I always have to swallow. And besides that, there's so much guilt; it's like a tsunami that washes over the shore and when it recedes, you're left with nothing at all. It's not fair, I want to shout. It's not fair that I have to feel so horrible and I can't even feel horrible because my brain tells me it's wrong and I'm selfish and I feel disgusting.”
