“My theory is that poems are written because of a state of emotional irritation. It may be present for some time before the poet is conscious of what is tormenting him. The emotional irritation springs, probably, from subconscious combinations of partly forgotten thoughts and feelings. Coming together, like electrical currents in a thunder storm, they produce a poem. ... the poem is written to free the poet from an emotional burden.” MayStatesFeelingsTogetherPoetryWrittenProduceEmotionalPoetTheorySpringConsciousForgottenCurrentsBurdenStormCombinationSubconsciousThunderElectricalThoughts And FeelingsIrritationComing Together Book:Mirror of the Heart: Poems of Sara Teasdale Source: Mirror of the Heart: Poems of Sara Teasdale

“My mom was in education, and I remember reading in one of her books about multiple intelligences - this whole theory about how there are all these different ways you can be intelligent, like eight or 10 of them or something.

“All in all, the communally reared children of Israel are far from the emotional disasters that psychoanalytic theory predicted. Neither have they been saved from all personality problems, as the founders of the kibbutz movement had hoped when they freed children from their parents. In any reasonable environment, children seem to grow up to be themselves. There is no evidence that communal rearing with stimulating, caring adults is either the ruination or the salvation of children.” ChildrenProblemSeemsGrowsParentCommunityGrowing UpEnvironmentMovementEmotionalTheoryPersonalityEvidenceAdultsSalvationIsraelCaringSavedDisasterReasonableFoundersPsychoanalytic Author:Sandra Scarr
“A formative influence on my undergraduate self was the response of a respected elder statesmen of the Oxford Zoology Department when an American visitor had just publicly disproved his favourite theory. The old man strode to the front of the lecture hall, shook the American warmly by the hand and declared in ringing, emotional tones: "My dear fellow, I wish to thank you. I have been wrong these fifteen years." And we clapped our hands red. Can you imagine a Government Minister being cheered in the House of Commons for a similar admission?

“In real life, when you have an emotional experience, it's never just because of the thing that's been said. There's the backstory.
