Emotions Quotes

“Do something kind for another person. Proceeding with this selfless gesture, while not feeling at your best, shows that you are in control of your emotions. It is not the other way around.”

“When someone becomes angry with you, it is not your job to make them feel better; it is their job to learn skills to hold space for that anger and make themselves feel better. It is also their responsibility to understand their anger and, if necessary, communicate with you about how you might have contributed to that emotion within them. The problem is that so many of us have been on the receiving end of trouble from people who are totally clueless about how to take ownership over their own emotions. And what happens when people don't know how to own and manage their emotions? They project their negative emotions on us and make us believe that we caused the negative emotion. They make us believe that their negative emotions are our fault and problem to fix.”

“Where did their original owner go? Didn’t they show their love by allowing their person to write upon them? Weren’t they of help? Why did the person leave after carving scars into their body as a permanent reminder of who owned them? Why did my owner have to replace what they once had...? I am very sorry, Desk, for not thinking about your feelings sooner. I certainly hope my owner chooses to keep you; you deserve better than to be abandoned…”

“You are the magician with alchemical powers and this comes with the ability to control, transmute, and maneuver elements. Basically what I'm conveying is that you are the master over your anger, your life, the way you go about these goals with your emotions, and what you create with them.”

“Taken by themselves, emotions are pretty useless. Simply being fearful doesn't do an organism any good. But if a fearful state prompts an organism to flee, hide, or counterattack, it may well save its life. Emotions evolve, in short, for their capacity to induce adaptive reactions to danger, competition, mating opportunities, and so on. Emotions are action-prone.”

“It is not a garment I cast off this day, but a skin that I tear with my own hands. Nor is it a thought I leave behind me, but a heart made sweet with hunger and with thirst. Yet I cannot tarry longer. The sea that calls all things unto her calls me, and I must embark. For to stay, though the hours burn in the night, is to freeze and crystallize and be bound in a mould.”

“It’s hard to love someone without restraint. To give yourself over to the swell and pull of it without fear of what might happen. I think it’s only natural to hold a part of yourself back and protect what you can. But it’s hard to keep yourself from giving in too. Layla is right. These past nine years I’ve buried every glimpse of strong feeling with denial, yearning and a sprinkle of deliberate misunderstanding”

“Here's an emotion-dismissing meta-emotion I hear a lot: "If there is no solution to an uncomfortable feeling, there's no point feeling it." Yes, there is. The point of feeling a feeling you can't do anything about is to let it discharge, complete the cycle, so that it can end.”

“दाट चिंतनात असं वारंवार शिरणं म्हणजे कोण्या अज्ञाताचं कर्ज फेडण्याचाच प्रकार. अशा गुंगलेल्या अवस्थेत खऱ्या जाणिवा सामोऱ्या येतात. आधीच्या नंतरच्या संधिप्रकाशात त्यांचे पदर घेतलेले अपुरे चेहरे भेसूर दिसू दे, स्वा वाईट नाही आहेत. त्यांचं माहेर कुठेतरी नभोमंडलात ईथराच्या वरच्या कृष्णद्रव्यात असतं. जाणिवा असणाऱ्या आपल्या सगळ्यांच्या मेंदूवर जागेपणी कुठलं तरी अज्ञान काम करत असतं. मुंग्या वारुळाबाहेर सगळ्या सर्वकाळ कुठे दिसतात? पण आत त्यांचं किती मोठं साम्राज्य असतं? आणि त्यांच्या सगळ्यांच्या सरळमार्गी एकचित्त हटवादी हालचालींवर कुठल्यातरी आंधळ्या निष्ठेच एक अदृश्य नियंत्रण असतं, ते कोणाला दिसतं? तुझ्या जाणिवांचं हे प्रचंड वारूळ जमिनीत किती खोल आहे, हे पाहा.”

“И на этом деревянном лице вдруг скользнул какой-то теплый луч, выразилось не чувство, а какое-то бледное отражение чувства, явление, подобное неожиданному появлению на поверхности вод утопающего, произведшему радостный крик в толпе, обступившей берег. Но напрасно обрадовавшиеся братья и сестры кидают с берега веревку и ждут, не мелькнет ли вновь спина или утомленные бореньем руки, — появление было последнее. Глухо все, и еще страшнее и пустыннее становится после того затихнувшая поверхность безответной стихии. Так и лицо Плюшкина вслед за мгновенно скользнувшим на нем чувством стало еще бесчувственней и еще пошлее.”

“Anger gets a bad rap. We have heard that anger is not acceptable for most of our lives. We hear that it is undignified and even crazy to be angry. It’s confusing because we often grow up in a household with a very angry person, but we are told we can never be angry. This continues in adulthood as oppressed people are villainized for expressing anger even though powerful people express it all the time. But there’s an ulterior motive for these messages. If we get angry, they lose their control. In reality, they are terrified of our anger. Why? Our anger is our self-love. It is telling us that something is wrong with how we are being treated. Let it say what it needs to say. Rage on the page. The more we can express our anger, the better our boundaries will become.”
