“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
“It should not be presumed that these people (the Jews), who are so separated from us by their religion, have any right to make our laws. But why blame the Jews? It is we who lack all feeling for our own identity, all sense of honour.” PeopleShouldFeelingsLawIdentityBlameJewHonour Author:Richard Wagner
“Try and travel with the eyes of the spirit wide open, and not too much factual information. To tune in, without reverence, idly -- but with real inward attention. It is to be had for the feeling, that mysterious sense of rapport, of identity with the ground. You can extract the essence of a place once you know how. If you just get as still as a needle you'll be there.” IfsKnowsTryingStillsRealFeelingsEyeSpiritAttentionKnow HowToo MuchInformationIdentityTravelEssenceWideMysteriousTunesReverenceInwardNeedlesFactualRapport Author:Lawrence Durrell
“A conviction that you are a daughter of God gives you a feeling of comfort in your self-worth. It means that you can find strength in the balm of Christ. It will help you meet the heartaches and challenges with faith and serenity. ... A woman can and must have an identity and feel useful, valued, and needed whether she is single or married.

“We live at a time that is notable for the polemical nature of discussions about identity, consciousness, rationality, agency, memory, and feeling. 'New atheists' and reductive materialists conduct gladiatorial debates against defenders of faith and enemies of reductionism. Lots of heat is produced, but, alas, little light is shed. How marvelous it is, then, to see this fine new book by Lenn E. Goodman and Gregory Caramenico. Here is a learned, illuminating, and decidedly non-polemical treatment of the classic questions of soul, mind, and brain-an exemplary work of scholarship.” MindLittlesBookSoulFeelingsLightMemoriesBrainConsciousnessEnemyIdentityFineAtheistDebateDiscussionHeatClassicAgencyTreatmentShedMarvelousRationalityAlasScholarshipNotableDefendersNew BooksIlluminatingExemplaryGoodmanReductionism Author:Robert P.

“The culture and educational system of the contemporary West are based almost exclusively upon the training of the reasoning brain and, to a lesser degree, of the aesthetic emotions. Most of us have forgotten that we are not only brain and will, senses and feelings; we are also spirit. Modern man has for the most part lost touch with the truest and highest aspect of himself; and the result of this inward alienation can be seen all too plainly in his restlessness, his lack of identity and his loss of hope.” MenFeelingsSpiritCultureLostLossResultsEmotionBrainModernIdentityDegreesHighestTrainingAspectWestForgottenEducationalSensesContemporaryReasoningAestheticInwardAlienationTruestRestlessnessEducational SystemModern ManHis Loss Author:Kallistos Ware
