“The deeper purpose of a more positive attitude toward men is a better life for the children who are parented by the men who are their dads and stepdads; less shame for our sons who will become men; and, for our daughters, a deeper understanding of men's desire to please that leaves them feeling their willingness to please is not unrequited but returned - allowing our daughters to feel less lonely and more loved. If we earn more and love less, we pay for a home in which we do not live.” IfsMenFeelsChildrenFeelingsHomeDesirePurposeUnderstandingPayAttitudeHe ManSonDadPleaseDaughterLonelyAnd LoveShameDeeperPositive AttitudeWillingnessAllowingBetter LifeUnrequitedOur DaughterDeeper UnderstandingStepdads Author:Warren Farrell
“Faith exalts the human heart, by removing it from the market-place, making it sacred and unexchangeable. Under the jurisdiction of religion our deeper feelings are sacralized, so as to become raw material for the ethical life: the life lived in judgement.” HumansHeartFeelingsMaterialsSacredDeeperJudgementEthicalHuman HeartRaw MaterialsJurisdiction Book:Modern Culture Source: Modern Culture
“Divorce is simply modern society's version of medieval torture. Except it lasts longer and leaves deeper scars. A divorce releases the most primitive emotions; the ugliest, raw feelings. Emotionally wounded people do their best to inflict pain upon the other party, but rather than using claws they use divorce lawyers.” PeopleUseFeelingsPainLastsPartyEmotionModernDeeperDivorceLawyerVersionsReleaseTortureScarPrimitiveWoundedMedievalClawsModern SocietyDivorce Lawyers Book:Up Till Now Source: Up Till Now
“My art in the last period has all been in small format, but my paintings have become even deeper and more spiritual, speaking truly through colour. Feeling that because of my illness I would not be able to paint very much longer, I worked like a man obsessed on these little 'Meditations' (a long series of small paintings he made during the last years of his life, with as main motif the schema of a face, ed.). And now I leave these small but, to me, important works to the future and to people who love art.” PeopleMenYearsLittlesLongArtMadeImportantFeelingsAbleLastsFacesSpiritualMeditationPaintingPeriodsSeriesPaintIllnessDeeperObsessedColourLast YearFormatMotifsImportant WorkSchemas Author:Alexej von Jawlensky
“There is a string attached to Maia Sharp's voice. And when she sings, you find that the other end is attached to your gut. Her voice is lush and sensual and the emotions she articulates resonate with the small feelings we have that sometimes are hard to face..there is an edge to her songs, but also a softness...she is lyrical and conversational at the same time. Her CD was the only one in my machine for a month. Her work inspires me to dig deeper.” EndsSometimesHardFeelingsFacesSongVoiceEmotionInspireMonthsMachinesEdgesDeeperSensualGutsStringsCdsLyricalSoftnessDig DeepLushStrings Attached Author:Kathy Mattea
“Poetry is not an end in itself but in the service of life; of what use are poems, or any other works of art, unless to enable human lives to be lived with insight of a deeper kind, with more sensitive feelings, more intense sense of the beautiful, with deeper understanding?” HumansKindArtEndsUseFeelingsBeautifulUnderstandingDeeperInsightIntenseHuman LifeSensitivePoetry IsWorks Of ArtDeeper Understanding Author:Kathleen Raine
