“The artist who paints the emotions creates an enclosed world... the picture... which, like a book, has the same interest no matter where it happens to be. Such an artist, we may imagine, spends a great deal of time doing nothing but looking, both around him and inside him.” WorldMayBookMatterHappensArtistInterestDealsEmotionImaginePaintDoing Nothing Author:Pierre Bonnard
“What happens with fear is that probability doesn't matter very much. That is, once I have raised the possibility that something terrible can happen to your child, even though the possibility is remote, you may find it very difficult to think of anything else.

“Comparison with something that is better is the thief of joy. Comparison with something that is worse is a joy - full of relief and gratitude! You cannot always choose what happens to you or your circumstances but you can always choose your attitude by what you choose to compare your experiences or circumstances to and therefore how you will feel!! We can make any experience either a heaven or a hell by what we compare it to. Our emotions are 'an inside job!'” FeelsHappensJobsJoyHeavenEmotionAttitudeHellCircumstancesGratitudeCompareReliefComparisonYou ChooseThieves Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“When your account has these massive swings up and down, there's a tendency to feel a rush when the market is going your way and devastation when it's going against you.

“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 have always employed humor, and I think it’s absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion. I mean, you can compel fear, as we know. You can compel love, actually, if somebody is isolated and dependent — it’s like the Stockholm syndrome. But you can’t compel laughter. It happens when two things come together and make a third unexpectedly. It happens when you learn something, too.” KnowsMeanTwoHumorHappensTogetherEmotionLaughterThirdsTwo ThingsLove Actually Author:Gloria Steinem
“What happens to children and families today who sit around the television? They're watching made-up stories. It's not their experience and it's not truly shared.

“In public, I hardly ever show feelings. That's what happens when everything you do is put under a magnifying glass. But if you've spent some time hiding behind your public mask, and you're back in your own environment, then all that suppressed emotions still has to be set loose. As a result you are going to behave like a nutcase.
