The clock, for all its precision in measurement, is a blunt instrument for the psyche and for society. Schedules can replace sensitivity to the mood of a moment, clock time can ride roughshod over the emotions of individuals.

Performing is a profound experience, at least for me. It’s not as if I sit down and play ‘Fire and Rain’ by myself, just to hear it again. But to offer it up… the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back, and I do get a reconnection to the emotions.

If the cosmos isn’t finite, then far, far away, floating duplicates of your brain – with all its experiences, thoughts, and emotions – are occasionally (and temporarily) thrown together by the random combining of atoms. Such ‘Boltzmann brains,’ as they’re called, are a disturbing consequence of an unlimited universe.
30
In the descent from a world of factual discourse into a world of emotions and alternative realities, the first step you take, whether you’re the Russian media, whether you’re Breitbart, is that you manufacture lots of stuff that isn’t true. The second step is that you claim that everyone is like this.
31

59
60
61
I really like people who have the gift of the gab. I like characters that are very eloquent, articulate and confident in what they’re saying.

62
63
Fear is one of those really primal emotions which you don’t want to have incredibly exciting modulations and complex harmonies and all that kind of stuff.
64

67
My own father didn’t talk a lot about feelings or emotions.

71
72
73

93

101
102
103
It was only after university that I said to myself that I had to take the risk and have a serious go at acting.

104
105
106

108
109

Emotions can certainly be misleading: they can fool you into believing stuff that is definitely, demonstrably untrue.
115
116
No one wants to be picked at. At the end of the day, we’re all human beings with feelings and emotions. Nobody wants to be critiqued and picked apart, but it’s the nature of the business.

117
118

150
I think the gender norms of emotion are horrendous. Being masculine means showing zero emotions, but having the choice to be angry or depressed. Being female means you are one dimensional – if you show more than that, you are a psycho, hysterical, or historically, a witch.

Singing is also like acting, since I memorize my lines, and I sing with emotions, too.
152
153
154

It’s none of that. It’s just my emotions.
156

160
161
162

173
174
I learned a great lesson early on, even before I was really an actor, from that movie ‘Planes, Trains & Automobiles’ that John Hughes made: that you could make a movie that’s really, really, really, really funny, and sometimes you can still achieve… making the audience feel very deep emotions as well.

183
At times I have a beat first and then I write. Sometimes I have a melody in my head and I pick up the guitar to develop the song. Other times I just write without any melodies, and I end up using those lyrics when I think I have the appropriate instrumental that would bring out and depict the emotions of what I have written.
184
185
You have to learn to draw the same emotion you had when you wrote a song every time you perform it. Acting is the same way: You have to find those emotions and bring them to the surface, and then put them back when you’re done.
186
187
Pop music provides not just the soundtrack to our lives, as the cliche goes; it releases our emotions and helps us to articulate them. This is why music is so important to adolescents, who are struggling with questions of identity and self-expression.

206

212

213

217
218
219
Being irrational and out of control is what happens in real life. Not cautiously choreographing your anger or your emotions, losing yourself in them is what happens in real life.
220
221
I was active on Facebook for a while, responding to comments and thanking fans for their appreciation. But I found that the Facebook feed was numbing my emotions.

222
Romance focuses on emotions and on relationships, both of which are fundamentally important to women.
223
224
Emotions are the same to all human beings. But there is some difference in the way people react to situations.
225
I think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it’s not real people and not real emotions.

226
227

241
242
Maybe with your emotions and your feelings, someone else can say it in a different way than you would, which brings new life to the way you might sing it.

Yes, I do often write poems from the mind, but I hope I don’t ignore feelings and emotions.
249

250
I try to make music with emotion and integrity. And authenticity. You can feel when something’s authentic, and you can feel when it’s not: you know when someone’s trying to make the club record, or trying to make the girl record, or trying to make the thug record. It’s none of that. It’s just my emotions.
251
252
253
As human beings, we all mature physically from childhood to adolescence and then into adulthood, but our emotions lag behind.
254
I feel very strongly that you shouldn’t mix your emotions with business. When it comes to my emotions, I certainly don’t mix them with my business.
255
I’m not going to change and get the emotions out of my game. It’s important to have emotions in sport. If you don’t have emotions, it’s like you don’t really care. Because if you care about something, you’re always going to be emotional. Doesn’t matter if it’s sports or personal life.
256
257
258
259

280
My work is through my emotions, so everything kind of goes together.
281
Football is a sport of emotions, and we have to capture that in our films.

284
285
I think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don’t do only that. You also need to train your mind.
286
287
In the music business, to survive for so long, you have to be able to cut off from your emotions sometimes. And being a father, you’re faced with that situation. I know that my father was, with me.

288
289
When I harnessed its seemingly uncontrollable might, I realized bipolar disorder‘s powers could be used for good. My diagnosis didn’t have to be an affliction. It could simply be the gift of extraordinary emotions.

291
292

300

303
I love horror movies because they’re really fun. They tap into those wonderful primal emotions.

I feel like a lot of times when stuff is on my mind, I really don’t show it. I know how to hide my emotions.
308
In hip-hop, I wasn’t very focused on delivering a message. It was just a string of lines that didn’t connect. What I wanted to do is write stories… and affect someone’s emotions with that song. I think as a soul singer, I’m able to accomplish that.
309
When you stop resisting your emotions, you will quickly realize that your feelings are your friends. They are your soul’s way to communicate with you and are meant to guide and inform you.
310
What I like about fairy tales is that they highlight the emotions within a story. The situations aren’t real, with falling stars and pirates. But what you do relate to is the emotions that the characters feel.
311
312
My songwriting process, and maybe loads of other people’s, is just this sort of smashing together of emotions and stuff to make some music. It’s kind of simple and really complex at the same time and, as you can see, incredibly hard to explain.
313
314
315
Markets as well as mobs respond to human emotions; markets as well as mobs can be inflamed to their own destruction.
316
Acting probably saved my life. It gave me a home and a safe place to let out all of my emotions and have it be okay.
317
Yes, online privacy is a real problem that needs to be addressed. But even the best privacy laws are only as effective as our Paleolithic emotions are resistant to the seductions of technology.
318
319
I was brought up with considerable discipline, and I was taught it wasn’t proper to display certain very private emotions in public.
320
I have no interest in trying to manipulate people’s emotions or opinions.
321
Cinema is my religion. It is a way to make people sensitive, through emotions. To make them feel, experience empathy. People are touched and act ethically when they are emotionally touched.
322
Love is a strange emotion. It is ever evolving. Lust is transient. With time, one realizes that love and togetherness are two different things. Very few people are lucky enough to experience the two emotions simultaneously.
323
Somehow, it seems that the sadder a song is, the happier I feel. The release of emotions that many would label as ‘negative’ is actually a liberating process for me.
324
Like the music and the period, I wanted ‘I’m Not There’ to be fun and full of emotions, desires and experiments that were thrilling and dangerous.
325
We are very passionate and very emotional people in Serbia. Everything we do, it is done with emotions. We are very good at sport, tennis, basketball, football ,water polo, volleyball. We always try to show this character and use it.
326
A marriage is a solemn affair. The tempest of emotions and the myriad of arrangements are giddying, and when one is faced with these, clothing seems to be the last of one’s priorities.
327
328
People misinterpret my emotions towards Nirvana because I’ve said things about how something happened with grunge that took a little bit of fun out of things. It’s no offense to Nirvana; they were one of the greats, obviously. But something died there, too, and we haven‘t quite gotten the groove back.
329
At the end of the day you have to keep emotions away.
330
Since I am first of all a character writer, that character’s emotions are as vivid to me as my own. I always begin with an emotion after I have established a character in my mind. I feel what they feel. I guess that is why it comes across so strongly.
331
332
A work of art is one through which the consciousness of the artist is able to give its emotions to anyone who is prepared to receive them. There is no such thing as bad art.
333
334
I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.
335
336
337
When I was growing up, the top movies dealt with grown-up, complex emotions.
338
I hate writing texts to girlfriends because you can’t really see emotions in texts. You can get confused on what she says.
339
Over the years, I have been asked to play these sort of scary frenetic characters that express their emotions physically.
340
341
I’m a tragedienne in some way. I think quite epically. I like epic landscapes and grand emotions.
342
If we just wanted positive emotions, our species would have died out a long time ago.
343
I know if I react, and I want to get mad, and emotions come to the surface, I think quickly of my friends who have died and how they overcame their struggle and used their cancer and their lives for the betterment of mankind, and it sets me back in place.
344
345
It is only when parental feelings are ineffective or too ambivalent or when the mother’s emotions are temporarily engaged elsewhere that children feel lost.
346
To be a performance artist, you have to hate theatre. Theatre is fake… The knife is not real, the blood is not real, and the emotions are not real. Performance is just the opposite: the knife is real, the blood is real, and the emotions are real.
347
I write about emotions – falling in and out of love, finding what you want to do, no matter where you are or who you are. I think that’s why people feel connected.
348
There are essentially two main reasons to hold a phone up at a show. First, to capture a memory for yourself, a reminder of the moment you’re enjoying. And second, to share that moment with someone – to express your emotions socially. Both seem perfectly legitimate to me.
349
350
351
352
I got down to business and started writing furiously. I wore my fingers down to a callous state writing with every Tom, Dick and Harry around the world, including a chap named Charlie who plays for a man named Bob, to wrestle my emotions and bring out the raw grit hiding in my tightly guarded sub-conscious.
353
I don’t think anybody else can play the Hulk like I could. I was able to show emotions even with all of the makeup. I don’t think it can be duplicated.
354
Everything we do is for the purpose of altering consciousness. We form friendships so that we can feel certain emotions, like love, and avoid others, like loneliness. We eat specific foods to enjoy their fleeting presence on our tongues. We read for the pleasure of thinking another person’s thoughts.
355
During the 1960s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don’t think they’ve ever remembered.
356
357
Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.
358
I don’t try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
359
I learn something new everyday about myself as an actor, my capabilities, how far I can stretch myself, throw out emotions I never knew I had.
360
361
When you’re in a race car, you’re going through so many different emotions throughout that race.
362
363
The trite answer is that everything is true but none of it happened. It is emotionally true, but the events, the plotting, the narrative, isn’t true of my life, though I’ve experienced most of the emotions experienced by the characters in the play.
364
I’m aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic.
365
366
I’m actually not an exhibitionist at all. When you get onstage and you get under the lights playing music, I feel more hidden and more alone than anywhere else. You hide behind your music and let your emotions come out through the music.
367
368
369
I want to break into the acting industry. It’s something I have a great deal of respect for; it’s a passion of mine. It’s so amazing, the differences between acting and being an athlete, but the one commonality is they both evoke emotion in the viewer. And those emotions are real. So I think that’s pretty cool.
370
Despite what everyone thinks about science fiction, ultimately, at its best, it’s about human beings with human emotions.
371
I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve. I was once described by my own son Stephen as an emotional ostrich.
372
373
374
Early in last season, George was very worried about other people’s emotions, especially how they saw her, and felt she was outside looking in. This year, she still hopes people will accept her for who she is, but if they don’t, she’s OK with that.
375
376
People forget that I’m a human being, just because I play a sport that everybody loves. We’re human. We’re not invincible. We share the same feelings and emotions that people on the outside feel. I don’t think people really understand that.
377
I’ve never had a problem with age; my feelings and emotions are still like those of a young woman. Thank God, I can still be surprised and excited, and I can still dream. I think that’s something no one should stop doing, because it’s what keeps you young!
378
I got interested in the emotions after studying patients who had lost the ability to emote and feel under certain circumstances. Many of those patients also had major impairments in their ability to make decisions.
379
Rational thoughts never drive people’s creativity the way emotions do.
380
Everybody has a spiritual body. Everybody has a physical body, and so your spiritual body is the stuff that holds all of your emotions like your body holds your organs, your food, your muscles, your water. Your spiritual body holds your emotional state and your mental state.
381
382
383
384
These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed.
385
386
387
388
When I gave birth to my son, something happened. It is a huge thing for a woman: a whole set of emotions you never had before arrives, and a love you never had before in your life is now on tap.
389
We tend to think of extremes of emotions as registering, for example, you have to cry or laugh or get angry. But for the most part, we find it difficult to read each other most of the time. If you walk through the street, most people are pretty difficult to read. But they’re thinking inside.
390
391
I have all the emotions that everyone has; it just appears that I don’t.
392
I’m an emotional person. I chose films based on emotions.
393
I think there’s a karmic purpose that souls make before they decide to come into people’s bodies and become someone’s parent, or become someone’s child. Maybe my dad disappearing was his way of giving me material with which to work, or a predisposition to feel heightened emotions.
394
Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people’s lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.
395
Any comic is a tragic soul. Comedy is one of the things that allows one to survive. Particularly if one has been in the process of separating off the emotions, it’s one place you can process them.
396
397
Auden is a poet – no, the poet – of unembarrassed intellect. Ideas are his emotions, emotions are his ideas.
398
There are a few musicians that I know who seem on the outside like very asocial or somewhat unemotional people, people who aren’t capable of emotions, and people think they’re very cold inside.
399
My emotions are very simple and always have been about the Hall of Fame. It’s something that I had absolutely nothing to do with and had no control over, so I never thought much about it, to be frank.
400
The human voice: mysterious, spontaneous, primal. For me, the human voice is the vessel on which all emotions travel – except perhaps jealousy. And the breath, the breath is the captain of that vessel.
401
402
I’m just so lucky – my office is a racetrack. That is something I’m very thankful for. It’s exciting, and it’s challenging, and there are a lot of emotions and nerves that come with it, but right there before the gates open, before that minute and a half or two minutes of the race, it just hits you.
403
All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless Goddess of Distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people.
404
I’ve written songs before, and I don’t want to share them with anybody. It’s really personal for me, that sort of creative outlet where you put your emotions to paper or put to song. I don’t do it that much anymore, but to let someone in on that outlet and to have it susceptible to judgment is scary.
405
406
I like to do the whole gamut of emotions on stage – big crying, shouting, hair-pulling.
407
I acknowledge the privilege of being alive in a human body at this moment, endowed with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect.
408
You learn to rely on a few basic movements and use your voice to the greatest extent possible to convey your emotions. So there was a technical challenge there and a responsibility to create a character from behind the mask.
409
I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.
410
Thank God I’m in touch with my emotions enough to be able to pick up my children, kiss them all over and say ‘I love you’ over and over.
411
412
I think you have to be very secure as an actor to escape yourself – to revisit someone’s past, whether you’re portraying another person or creating someone, and then to come back to who you are and not bring those emotions with you.
413
I went to college at North Carolina School of the Arts and took a lot of singing classes, and it really is so connected to emotions.
414
415
From time to time, I’ll look back through the personal journals I’ve scribbled in throughout my life, the keepers of my raw thoughts and emotions. The words poured forth after my dad died, when I went through a divorce, and after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There are so many what-ifs scribbled on those pages.
416
417
418
Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.
419
As a director, there is nothing more fun than seeing an audience screaming and jumping. You are the ultimate puppet master, controlling the emotions of the audience.
420
One of the things I’ve started doing lately is tracking my dreams. I feel like there’s a lot of information there and you can really bring those emotions to the situations that may feel mundane or familiar. That gives them new life and gives you a new relationship with it – if that makes any sort of sense.
421
422
423
424
I guess every actor has certain emotions they can access easier than others.
425
426
427
When I played ‘Survivor‘, I sat back many times and marveled that no one had gotten into a real physical altercation. With all the backbiting, lies, and lack of food, a fight didn’t sound far off base, considering the strained and fragile emotions.
428
429
430
A lot of women don’t know how to vent and deal with emotions.
431
One is certain of nothing but the truth of one’s own emotions.
432
Sometimes emotions just come out in their own way.
433
The death of Garang has unfortunately unleashed emotions of anger; some genuine, others cultivated by elements who wanted to pit one group of Sudanese against another.
434
435
436
Every role varies greatly, just as emotions vary greatly.
437
Music and songs are written at different periods of time, at different times in your life. They reflect the feelings you have and to be honest, I quite like having positive emotions.
438
Emotions are the key to many aspects of life. They are precisely the elements that make human beings human. I think the fact that emotions have been reduced and put off to the side in intellectual work, particularly in the 20th Century, is tragic.
439
Rap for me is like making movies, telling stories, and getting the emotions of the songs through in just as deep a way.
440
I’ve had a fair amount of experience with snakes, and I find them to be pretty honest in terms of how you read their body language and emotions. They’ll tell you when they’re grumpy. They’ll tell you when they’re okay.
441
Negative emotions like loneliness, envy, and guilt have an important role to play in a happy life; they’re big, flashing signs that something needs to change.
442
Charles Schultz is a really interesting case. He wrote that comic strip and drew it himself from beginning to end, and it’s a work of genius. It’s very simply drawn, but it has some really deep emotions that you don’t expect in a silly-looking comic strip.
443
I focus on the elements of a movie that are meant to invisibly affect me as a viewer. The edges. As an author, I’m aware of how the subconscious things can pluck at a reader’s emotions, and I love it when filmmakers do the same.
444
445
Debt collectors like to play on your emotions because they think you’ll give in and do something you can’t really afford to do. Most of them don’t care about you or your situation as long as they get some money.
446
Keeping my emotions in check translates to me playing a lot better.
447
448
Wonder is that possession of the mind that enchants the emotions while never surrendering reason. It is a grasp on reality that does not need constant high points in order to be maintained, nor is it made vulnerable by the low points of life’s struggle.
449
450
When you dominate other people’s emotions, the time has to come when you will have to pay, and heavily, for that privilege.
451
452
453
All movies aren’t fun; some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.
454
I feel pressure, but my emotions just don’t show that much in my face.
455
456
457
I don’t think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.
458
459
460
Memories, impressions and emotions from the first 20 years on earth are most writers‘ main material; little that comes afterward is quite so rich and resonant.
461
I was putting on a stiff upper lip and trying to fulfill the obligations I thought were demanded of me, taking over my father’s role of taking care of my mother… and having to be the recipient of her confessions and emotions but of a delusional nature.
462
463
464
When I say manage emotions, I only mean the really distressing, incapacitating emotions. Feeling emotions is what makes life rich. You need your passions.
465
466
I’m very English, and we don’t talk about emotions publicly.
467
468
When I was a teenager, I thought how great it would be if only I could write novels in English. I had the feeling that I would be able to express my emotions so much more directly than if I wrote in Japanese.
469
I don’t react and think off emotions – that gets you in a bad situation.
470
The ability to manage your emotions and remain calm under pressure has a direct link to your performance.
471
‘Jersey‘ is a very strong story and is driven by emotions.
472
473
When you’re acting and you need to cry, you want to put yourself in a position where you’re trying not to cry, because that is generally what people try and do. They try to hold on to their emotions, they don’t want to lose them.
474
475
476
I was always the child who wore her emotions on her sleeve.
477
I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country’s principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times.
478
Being irrational and out of control is what happens in real life. Not cautiously choreographing your anger or your emotions, losing yourself in them is what happens in real life.
479
480
Certainly, different people show their emotions in different ways. Unfortunately for me, mine has never been very gracious and I don’t know that it ever will be.
481
482
When you perform, you can convey emotions differently, and your look can reflect each of those emotions.
483
484
485
486
What men don’t want, in fact what anyone who’s any sort of thrill-seeking, intelligent adult doesn’t want, is some crushing bore describing their emotions in real time every waking hour.
487
My humor isn’t meant to be mean or hurt anyone. But it’s to make them uncomfortable and laugh. I like making people feel a different range of emotions. I like to make people a bit confused.
488
489
490
There’s feelings there, but I think I’ve just been pretty good at trying to hide my emotions throughout the years. I try to have the same demeanor each and every day.
491
492
You’re always dealing with emotions as an actor.
493
The nature of music is mysterious and so much so that it generates strong emotions within us. It moves along passages that reach the most intimate areas of our psyche without being tried by prejudices or influences of any kind.
494
I don’t think any human being/artist is 100% emotionally stable, based on the human condition and our emotions that relate to it.
495
496
The thing I adore about acting is that it’s not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it’s not you.
497
498
Foods high in bad fats, sugar and chemicals are directly linked to many negative emotions, whereas whole, natural foods rich in nutrients – foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes – contribute to greater energy and positive emotions.
499
Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power. Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words.
500
I don’t let anyone’s insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that’s all that matters to me.
501
Exploiting people’s emotions of fear, envy and anxiety is not hope, it’s not change, it’s partisanship. We don’t need partisanship. We don’t need demagoguery, we need solutions.
502
Positive social emotions like compassion and empathy are generally good for us, and we want to encourage them. But do we know how to most reliably raise children to care about the suffering of other people? I’m not sure we do.
503
Words are impotent to describe certain emotions.
504
I’m an imperfect person. I’ve let anger, jealousy, all the emotions, get the best of me. If I go into books, word by word, little by little, they help re-center and re-ground me and put me on the right path. Life is a journey. I’m very focused on the things I do and have learned not to be pressured.
505
Writing is a solitary profession; you are really alone when you write. Then the emotions become well shaped and distinct. But their transition into words must be done deliberately and with rigid artistry.
506
Many kids in foster homes have a lot of emotions that are hard to get out. It’s important to let them know they can make a difference in the community.
507
508
Some people love so hard that they can’t control those emotions when they’re at their deepest point.
509
510
I think being in touch with your emotions is very key as an actor, and I think experiencing life is the only way to be in touch with your emotions.
511
I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.
512
I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there’s a lot to be said for that way of thinking.
513
There are so many shades of emotions that I get to play. When I read the scenes, I feel there’s so much more to Kavya.
514
515
A clear understanding of negative emotions dismisses them.
516
I draw inspiration from anything and everybody and that’s what country music is to me… real life stories and real life emotions.
517
You see, you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. You have emotions, you have thoughts, you have a will, and you have a conscience. You are a complex being! And Jesus came to heal every single part of you. There’s not one part that He doesn’t want to make completely whole.
518
519
520
I am inspired by life, past experiences, what’s to come, women around me, art, colors, paintings, and emotions.
521
You’re the only one that’s in control of your emotions; you’re the only one that’s inside of you at all times. So control you however you want to. If you’re not happy, that’s your fault.
522
523
524
I can sit in my room and write a song that I think might be a hit. I can sort of make myself do that, and then I’ll play it to a friend, and they’ll say, ‘Oh, that’s nice.’ But when something happens to me, and I sit down and write a song to get rid of my emotions, they’ll turn around and say, ‘Wow, that’s great.’
525
Anytime you really take a close look at people who are dealing with the aging process, you’re going to have a complicated reaction to what you’re seeing and feeling. If you’re in the middle of it, those emotions are going to be quadrupled. It’s immediate, it’s relatable, so it’s good human drama.
526
The world is a complex place, and the influence of the media in its representation and its power of communication and interpretation is a remarkable amplifier of emotions, and of illusions.
527
528
In the world of money and investing, you must learn to control your emotions.
529
530
Basically, fundamentalism is a modern phenomenon. In the same way that Hitler evoked a mythological religion of German purity and the glory of the past, the Islamists use religion to evoke emotions and passions in people who have been oppressed for a long time in order to reach their purpose.
531
532
Your memories from your early childhood seem to have such purchase on your emotions. They are so concrete.
533
When I got to write for the ‘Battlefield‘ record, it was almost therapeutic. I had gone through a few things in the two years prior and it was really nice to take those thoughts and emotions and get them out. I definitely want to hone that side of my artistry.
534
The way we write our solo songs is that we take the emotions that we feel and put them in the lyrics. And we try to put them in the songs.
535
Some of us are only going to show our emotions while we’re actually vulnerable. But that’s what makes us human.
536
We believe it is bad or dangerous to be carried away by our emotions. We admire the person who is cool, who acts without feeling.
537
When you’re good at controlling your own emotions, you can disguise your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can tug at their heartstrings and motivate them to act against their own best interests.
538
For us political activists and candidates, the morning after any election is a mix of emotions – the personal and the immediate, the culmination of your own recent campaigning efforts; and the fortunes of your party and the success or otherwise of what you stand for and believe in.
539
I see a lot of similarity between Bengali and Malayalam films regarding the basic emotions, the craftsmanship, art and performance. I also feel both the industries are very true to their art and culture.
540
Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.
541
My body is quite tiny, but a lot of the emotions I feel are pretty explosive. They have to come out.
542
Emotions get in the way but they don’t pay me to start crying at the loss of 269 lives. They pay me to put some perspective on the situation.
543
A good teammate is someone willing to get outside of personal thoughts and emotions, a friend who tries to understand, appreciate, and encourage other members of the team.
544
545
Medicine is probably one of the best backgrounds for a writer to find stories. I always think cops and docs have the best background because we see so much of human behavior, such a range of human emotions.
546
547
It’s been said that horror films are experimental forms of art, and I agree. As an actress, you’re put in positions and have to experience emotions that are way beyond reality, whether fighting in a post-apocalyptic world or being possessed by the Devil.
548
I’ll continue on the path I’ve been taking, feet on the ground, describing people’s lives, describing people’s emotions, writing from the standpoint of the ordinary people.
549
550
551
There is a twinge of abandonment that comes with being a member of the African Diaspora. But ‘Black Panther‘ fearlessly introduces and then complicates this and other deeply held albeit rarely expressed emotions; that indeed is what makes this film so profoundly innovative.
552
You use your emotions to try and find them in the character that you’re playing.
553
554
555
There are two kinds of taste, the taste for emotions of surprise and the taste for emotions of recognition.
556
557
You see, you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. You have emotions, you have thoughts, you have a will, and you have a conscience. You are a complex being! And Jesus came to heal every single part of you. There’s not one part that He doesn’t want to make completely whole.
558
The point is to change one’s life. The point is not to give some vent to the emotions that have been destroying one; the point is so to act that one can master them now.
559
The romantic person instinctively sees marriage in terms of emotions, but what a couple actually gets up to together over a lifetime has much more in common with the workings of a small business. They must draw up work rosters, clean, chauffeur, cook, fix, throw away, mind, hire, fire, reconcile, and budget.
560
I grew up in a blue-collar neighborhood and was raised by a man who did not emote, ever… I always cry at movies, and when I was a kid, I would try to hide it. It wasn’t something a kid in Oaklyn, N.J., did. So I have these weird hang-ups about emotions.

Perhaps writers should never be allowed to get together in a workplace context. It’s not like studying computer science, after all. The emotions are at large, and are shared and are questioned. There is a vulnerability.

563
I have deep emotions about the American people. If I were to cry for anything, I would cry for them and the policies that they’re about to face.
564
Writing ‘Schottenfreude’ has reinforced the fact that there are few, if any, emotions that have not been experienced, and analyzed, by some of the world’s greatest writers.

Recreating the experience of, say, bereavement in my own head is pretty rough. I was used to switching off from emotions every day of my working life as a journalist, but in fiction, you have to feel it 100%, or else it’s a flat experience for the reader.
571
I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through.
572
573
We form friendships so that we can feel certain emotions, like love, want, magic – of missing people, avoid others – like loneliness.
574
I try to be as clear and simple as I can be in my illustrations so that the child can tell what is going on and what the emotions are.
575
576
Emotions are the fuel to really move you along – that’s the only way you can create music. If you don’t feel any emotions, it’s not going to happen.
577
I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country’s principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times.
578
Emotions fascinate me, just being able to express myself through acting. I love that. And I think, in everyday life, you’re always trying to repress your emotions. Like if you’re sad, you don’t want to show it to someone else.

‘NRT’ is a comedy film, which has the extreme of emotions with Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara as the protagonists.
581
I am, by nature, an honest person. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. There is no ‘behind closed doors‘ with me.
582
583
This is what people don’t understand. When they might see me do something that’s not ‘God-like,’ then they say, ‘Well, I thought you were saved?’ I am saved. I’m not perfect. I have emotions still. My name’s still Gary. These things here are not all cleaned up. I’m showing you my path.
584
Scientists are supposed to study animals in a totally objective fashion, similar to the way we inspect a rock or measure the circumference of a tree trunk. Emotions are not to interfere with the assessment. The animal-rights movement capitalizes on this perception, depicting scientists as devoid of compassion.
585
I write because I know that one day I will die, and thus I should experience as many deliberate observations, careful thoughts, wild ideas, and deep emotions as I can before that day occurs.
586
I became an actress and studied human emotions so that I could give the gift of feelings to my son. This is what my whole journey has been about.
587
In high school, I went to a place called the Mountain School. It’s on a farm in Vermont, and I read Emerson and Thoreau and ran around the woods. Now I go hiking with a bunch of my comedy buddies. We talk about our emotions. I also do a lot of writing on hikes, just to get the blood flowing and the ideas moving.

I was raised by a single psychologist mother and we spent every evening sitting at the kitchen table and dissecting our emotions and speculating about the inner life of everyone we knew.
591
For all that being a parent is normal statistically, it’s not normal psychologically. It produces some of the most extreme emotions you’ll ever have.
592
There are ways of swearing that express all of your love and emotions.
593
I still connect with original emotions. ‘Night Moves’ was written about 1961 or 1962 when I was in high school, and it was about what my friends and I did in that period.
594
595
When I was a child, I did always feel that people were hiding things, and that they weren’t expressing their true feelings. When adults are too complicated, and cover their emotions with layers of well-intentioned subterfuge, the child isn’t seeing reality clearly enough and gets upset.
596
In a way, we tried to make ‘The Salvation‘ a contemporary film with contemporary emotions. At the same time, in the script, you get a feel that all the small talk is not a part of our universe. It’s more precise talk.
597
We don’t put our emotions out there in Japan. I’m Japanese, but I love to be honest.
598
It is the mind which creates the world around us, and even though we stand side by side in the same meadow, my eyes will never see what is beheld by yours, my heart will never stir to the emotions with which yours is touched.
599
I like period drama because everyone is so restrained, but they have all these emotions raging underneath.
600
I’m not interested in politics. I lose interest the microsecond it ceases to be emotional, when something becomes a political movement. What I’m interested in is emotions.
601
602
What’s most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I’m a great believer of energy and emotion.
603
Emotions may win arguments, but they don’t win wars.
604
I play with language a great deal in my poems, and I enjoy that. I try to condense language, that is, I try to express complicated but I hope real emotions as simply as possible. But that doesn’t mean the poems are simple, just that they are as truthful as I can make them.
605
606
To play someone when the character masks their own emotions, doesn’t understand their own emotions, has no release for their own emotions, and yet is full of emotion – that is a much harder character to play than someone who has somewhere to put it.
607
Americans are a lot more open, of course. There’s something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It’s a stereotype but it’s true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.
608
609
I know that I am the kind of person that gets a little bit more nervous than other skaters, but that’s because I care for my skating very much. I take all my emotions with me. I can’t go out and say ‘Now, this is just my job.’ I really care.
610
Fear is one of the worst, and most limiting, emotions in life.
611
It’s wonderful to move forward technologically, but we cannot forget that we are human beings who thrive on relationships, who thrive on interconnectivity, who thrive on sharing your feelings and emotions.
612
613
Love and hate are two of the strongest emotions we feel in relationships.
614
There is a growing scientific consensus that animals have emotions and feel pain. This awareness is going to effect change: better treatment of animals in agribusiness, research and our general interaction with them. It will change the way we eat, live and preserve the planet.
615
A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist’s world.
