“To invent a story, or admirably and thoroughly tell any part of a story, it is necessary to grasp the entire mind of every personage concerned in it, and know precisely how they would be affected by what happens; which to do requires a colossal intellect: but to describe a separate emotion delicately, it is only needed that one should feel it oneself; and thousands of people are capable of feeling this or that noble emotion, for one who is able to enter into all the feelings of someone sitting on the other side of the table.” PeopleKnowsFeelsShouldMindStoriesFeelingsHappensWould BeAbleSidesEmotionNeededCapableSittingConcernedTablesOneselfIntellectNobleAffectedColossal Author:John Ruskin
“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 constructs of the mathematical mind are at the same time free and necessary. The individual mathematician feels free to define his notions and set up his axioms as he pleases. But the question is will he get his fellow mathematician interested in the constructs of his imagination. We cannot help the feeling that certain mathematical structures which have evolved through the combined efforts of the mathematical community bear the stamp of a necessity not affected by the accidents of their historical birth.” FeelsMindHelpingFeelingsCertainIndividualCommunityImaginationEffortBearsBirthPleaseMathematicsFellowsStructureHistoricalNotionMathAccidentsMathematicalAffectedMathematicianConstructsStampsAxiomsCombined Effort Book:Gesammelte Abhandlungen Source: Gesammelte Abhandlungen
