“Sorrow, it is said, will make even an oyster feel poetical. I never tried my hand at that sort of writing but on this particular occasion such was my state of feeling, that I began to fancy myself inspired; so I took pen in hand, and as usual I went ahead.” FeelsWritingSaidStatesFeelingsHandsParticularSorrowInspiredOccasionsFancyPensUsualOysters Book:A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett ...

“In the usual way I submitted manuscripts to publishers. This was not so much a feeling that I should be published as a wish to escape the feared and hated drudgery of "normal" work. In my twenties some of my work for children was published by Macmillan. However, I was twenty-seven before my adult novel, The Birthgrave, was taken by DAW Books in the USA. This enabled me finally to stop doing stupid and soul-killing jobs, and start working day and night as a professional writer. It felt like a rescue from damnation, and still does.” WayShouldChildrenDoeStillsBookSoulFeelingsJobsNightWishFeltNovelTakenStupidNormalAdultsTwentiesSevenKillingHatedUsaUsualRescuePublishersDay And NightManuscriptsDamnationDrudgery Author:Tanith Lee
“Psychohistory, like psychoanalysis, is a science in which the researcher's feelings are as much or even more a part of his research equipment than his eyes or his hands. Weighing of complex motives can only be accomplished by identification with human actors, the usual suppression of all feeling preached and followed by most "science" simply cripples a psychohistorian as badly as it would cripple a biologist to be forbidden the use of a microscope. The emotional development of a psychohistorian is therefore as much a topic for discussion as his or her intellectual development.” HumansUseFeelingsHandsEyeActorsEmotionalDevelopmentIntellectualResearchComplexesDiscussionMotiveHis EyesAccomplishedUsualTopicsEquipmentForbiddenPsychoanalysisResearchersIdentificationSuppressionMicroscopesBiologistCripplesWeighingIntellectual DevelopmentEmotional Development Author:Lloyd deMause

“the usual attitude of Christians towards Jews is - I hardly know whether to say more impious or more stupid, when viewed in the light of their professed principles. ... They hardly know Christ was a Jew. And I find men, educated, supposing that Christ spoke Greek. To my feeling, this deadness to the history which has prepared half our world for us, this inability to find interest in any form of life that is not clad in the same coat-tails and flounces as our own, lies very close to the worst kind of irreligion.” KnowsMenWorldKindFeelingsLightChristianFormLyingInterestChristHalfAttitudePrinciplesWorstStupidPrejudicePreparedJewEducatedGreekSpokesOur WorldUsualTailsCoatsInabilityFind MeSupposingSupposing ThatIrreligion Author:George Eliot
