“I had all these desperate feelings. I kept thinking, How will I ever play football again if I can't even get out of this bed? I was an invalid. Football had given me everything: identity, money, confidence, friendships. I wondered what kind of man I would be without it.” IfsThinkingMenKindI CanPlayFeelingsWould BeGivenIdentityFootballBedDesperateAmerican Football Author:Keith Millard
“When, in 1913, in a desperate attempt to rid art of the ballast of objectivity, I took refuge in the form of the square... the critics... sighed, "All that we loved has been lost. We are in a desert"... But the desert is filled with the spirit of non-objective feeling.” Has BeensArtFeelingsFormSpiritLostFilledCriticsObjectivesDesertDesperateSquaresRefugeObjectivityBallast Author:Kazimir Malevich
“Perhaps randomness is not merely an adequate description for complex causes that we cannot specify. Perhaps the world really works this way, and many events are uncaused in any conventional sense of the word. Perhaps our gut feeling that it cannot be so reflects only our hopes and prejudices, our desperate striving to make sense of a complex and confusing world, and not the ways of nature.” WorldWayFeelingsCausesEventsPrejudiceComplexesStriveMake SenseDesperateGutsDescriptionConventionalConfusingAdequateRandomnessGut Feelings Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“Love is not feeling, child, nor even the passion of lovers, which always seeks only its own gratification. It is the act of caring, of giving, the act of protecting the weak, the helpless, the imprisoned and the desperate. Love is the hand raised in defence. You cannot love and keep your hands clean.” GivingChildrenFeelingsHandsPassionLove IsLoversWeakCleanRaisedCaringDesperateHelplessAltruismGratificationDefenceDesperate Love Book:James Miranda Barry Source: James Miranda Barry
