To feel valued, to know, even if only once in a while, that you can do a job well is an absolutely marvelous feeling.
192
My only feeling about superstition is that it’s unlucky to be behind at the end of the game.
Duffy Daugherty
193

194
When I was first named as Deputy Prime Minister, there was a feeling of shock that I should be chosen because I was labeled as being an ultra and very anti-Chinese.
195
My comeback was not about winning or losing; it was about the feeling of being able to compete at top level again.
Thomas Muster
196

197
Feeling comfortable in my own skin makes me feel confident.
198
I can sleep anywhere! I can come off stage during the interval of a play, lie down for four minutes then wake up feeling better.
199
I’m a victim of my own insides. There was a time when I wanted to know everything. It used to make me very unhappy, all that feeling. I just didn’t know what to do with it. But now I’ve learned to make that feeling work for me.
Janis Joplin
200
If you trust your instincts and it doesn’t turn out right, OK. But if you compromise and defer to what somebody else is telling you and it doesn’t work out, that feeling gnaws at me.
201
I love the water. Everything about it. Smelling the humidity in the air, seeing the mist rise in the morning, feeling the dew-wet grass on my bare feet. I love watching the fish jump and the geese land. We even have an eagle here that circles every so often.
202
If you tell the truth about how you’re feeling, it becomes funny.
203
I raced supremely well. I felt I was as well fitted to do it as I had ever been, and as perhaps I might ever be. I went climbing three weeks before, because I was feeling fed up with running.
204
Christmas time! That man must be a misanthrope indeed, in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not roused – in whose mind some pleasant associations are not awakened – by the recurrence of Christmas.
205
This discourse, and the present frame of my mind, lead me rather to speak to those, who by feeling Satan‘s fiery darts, know assuredly that there is a devil.
206
I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.
207
At the age when other children, I imagine, experience their first ‘feeling’ for a person, or for art, or for religion, I was affectionate, good, and even pious: by that I mean that under the influence of my mother, I was devoted to the Child Jesus.
208
I don’t think it’s different to be a black girl in England than it is to be a black girl from America. We all collectively share in a pain of displacement and not feeling like we quite belong in places.
209
The debate on healthcare was not done like most of our conferences are done – meaning it was not all on television. There was this procedural feeling that the bill wasn’t done thoroughly and didn’t reflect peoples’ wishes. It’s not coincidence that upwards of 60 percent of folks in my district are against it.
210
I’m not angry; I write about angry characters. When I’m doing that, I’m happy. Just like when I’m writing about Mickey Sabbath being lustful, I’m not feeling lustful; I’m happy.
211
Making art, good art, is always a struggle. It can make you happy when you pull it off. There’s no better feeling. It’s beauteous. But it’s always about hard work and inspiration and sweat and good ideas.
212
It’s quite highly possible that I have peaked. I mean, I just can’t imagine what else I could do beyond this. It’s really a bittersweet kind of feeling.
213
My wife thinks I have an obsession with social class. So I guess I have an obsession with social class. It probably stems from feeling like an outcast.
214
It’s a great feeling to be recognized for all the hard work that I’ve put in.
215
I had polio when I was 13. I started feeling stiff, my joints ached, and over a two-week period I lost my coordination and 20 pounds.
216
I’m a big believer in overcoming and achieving and doing things and not feeling sorry for yourself.
217
I prayed like a man walking in a forest at night, feeling his way with his hands, at each step fearing to fall into pure bottomlessness forever. Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart.
218
The freeways of America are like giant veins twisting and turning, rushing life from one zone to the next. The landscape is a giant body just lying there feeling the rumble.
219
I like the feeling of making things. It’s very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you’re forced to collaborate with so many people. You’re involved in the beginning to end, you’re involved with so many elements, and when it’s done, you’re like, ‘I made this movie.’
220
Music is at once the product of feeling and knowledge, for it requires from its disciples, composers and performers alike, not only talent and enthusiasm, but also that knowledge and perception which are the result of protracted study and reflection.
Alban Berg
221
There’s no worse feeling than seeing my buildings and realizing the mistakes.
222
The Gospel is not a theory; the Gospel is not a philosophy or an idea; the Gospel is not a way of thinking or feeling. The Gospel is an event in history.
223
Anywhere in life, for girls there’s pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good.
224
Lazy doesn’t exist. Lazy is a symptom of something else. The person who can’t get up off their butt is just a person who’s depressed. It’s usually a pervasive lack of self-worth, or a feeling of helplessness.
225
Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.
William E. Gladstone
226
The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed.
Nelson Boswell
227
Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.
228
On that road of the informer, it is always night. I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure, because it is necessary.
229
True compassion means not only feeling another’s pain but also being moved to help relieve it.
230
We will not find the inner strength to evolve to a higher level if we do not inwardly develop this profound feeling that there is something higher than ourselves.
231
I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It’s done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer.
232
People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.
233
If you go back to the history of the ‘Madden‘ game, I was probably on the cover of it half the time. So if I was to believe there was a curse, I would also have to believe I’d been cursed. And I’ve never had that feeling.
234
No man with a conscience can just bat out illustrations. He’s got to put all his talent and feeling into them!
235
Love isn’t just a feeling: it’s an action.
Percelle Ascott
236
It’s a really good feeling in moving up the rankings so quickly because it’s so reassuring that I made the right decision in turning pro.
237
Find the autonomy in your work. Autonomy is key to feeling good about the work you do, no matter what kind of work it is.
238
Seeing your work in print is exciting, especially when you’re young. It’s that feeling that you have some effect on the world outside of your immediate neighbourhood.
239
Public opinion is a compound of folly, weakness, prejudice, wrong feeling, right feeling, obstinacy, and newspaper paragraphs.
Robert Peel
240
Everyone finds interviews nerve-wracking so try updating your interview outfit with some new accessories, such as a fabulous silk scarf, so you feel great and know that you look a million dollars, even if you’re feeling a little apprehensive.
241
You can’t copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means you’re working without any real feeling.
Billie Holiday
242
That’s a great gift to be given, that feeling of no fear.
243
Imagine feeling like every kiss goodbye to your loved ones each day might be your last kiss. Police officers and their families feel this way every single day.
244
I think, because of the lack of guaranteed contracts in the league, there’s hesitancy to speaking your minds at times. But I feel like there could be a movement beginning where guys are feeling a little more comfortable talking about things that are important to them.
245
If I didn’t love tennis, I wouldn’t be playing. That’s also why I don’t know how long I will be playing because if I start feeling like this is not what I want to do anymore, that there’s not really any reason anymore.
246
Setting a goal, accomplishing it, and feeling good about yourself can help build confidence and perseverance.
247
I was a keen observer and listener. I picked up on clues. I figured things out logically, and I enjoyed puzzles. I loved the clear, focused feeling that came when I concentrated on solving a problem and everything else faded out.
248
I did get bullied and I did get picked on and I did have that feeling in my gut of being incredibly self-conscious. I naturally gravitated towards my elders because I didn’t know how to speak or be present with my peers.
Heather Matarazzo
249
Well, any time I’m preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, it’s as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.
250
Irrelevance is the feeling that an employee gets when they don’t see how their job really makes a difference in someone else’s life in some large or small way.
251
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
252
Looking at faces of people, one gets the feeling there’s a lot of work to be done.
253
When you listen to a song, it should make you sit up and wonder, ‘Hey, what is this!’ or give you an inexplicable feeling of joy or relate beautifully to the music in you.
254
It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny.
255

256
The really wonderful thing that happened to me when I was in space was this feeling of belonging to the entire universe.
257
I’m not sure what the future holds but I do know that I’m going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said ‘Nic, it is what it is, it’s not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.’
258
I was watching the devastations of the Kashmir floods, and a reporter was asking a local, who had just lost her house and her son, how she was feeling. I was stunned at the insensitivity. I did a 10-15 second satire on it and put it up on Facebook.
259
If a man has been his mother’s undisputed darling he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling, the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it.
260

261
Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.

To have felt too much is to end in feeling nothing.
Dorothy Thompson
264
If a great outfit gets you one step closer to feeling good about yourself, then it’s worth every penny.
265
When I’m happy and in a good mood, I just search for other things that maybe connect to me on another level. I talk to my friends and see how they’re feeling – see what’s going on in their lives.
266
With something like cancer, there is a feeling that you can fight it in some way or control your response to it, but with dementia there is the fear of losing control of your mind and your life.
267
A leopard does not change his spots, or change his feeling that spots are rather a credit.
Ivy Compton-Burnett
268
I’m into the law of attraction and quantum physics. Like cosmic ordering. It’s all about thinking lovely things that you would like in life, and feeling good about them before they manifest, so that by the time they do, you don’t want them because you’re on to your next desire.
269
If by chance some day you’re not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I’ve said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled.
Red Skelton
270
I love the scents of winter! For me, it’s all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce.
271
I have more than once in my time woken up feeling like death.
272
Something that’s fun for me is a challenge. When you have a challenge and you take on that challenge and succeed, that’s the best feeling.
273
The feeling of own roof gives a sense of protection to the people.
274
I think there’s a certain poetry to having your body reflect what you feel inside of you. Perhaps you have a feeling that’s so pure, or overwhelming inside of you that your body disfigures to it – contortions match your confusion.
275
Seeing my friends succeed, find love, or just feeling content makes me feel unconditionally happy.
276
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
277
Every now and again I want to go to the beach and be in the sun, but that’s a very rare feeling, so I could live in London, definitely.
278
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.
279
It is not enough to know your craft – you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more.
Edouard Manet
280
I don’t like to play anywhere with a banner for Carlsberg or vodka or whatever. I’m not a drinker myself, and I don’t like feeling like I’m working for the liquor companies.
281
Texas is so big, and the place where I grew up was so little, and I was such a little thing growing up in the middle of it. I had two choices: I could either spend my life feeling insignificant, or I could look on the life I lived as a microcosm of the universe.
282
There’s nobody on this earth who can tell you that what you’re feeling is wrong. They can tell you it’s different to what they’re feeling.
283
And then when all around grows dark, when we feel utterly alone, when all men right and left pass us by and know us not, a forgotten feeling rises in the breast.
284
When I was being honest with myself, I had to own that there was something about me that was drawing an energy in my life that left me feeling underserved and unfulfilled. I decided to grow. I decided to purge myself of anyone and anything that was not full of goodness, serving me or making me happy.
285
I want ‘Scars to Your Beautiful’ to reach different types of women. The girl I am talking about, it’s me, it’s you – it’s every girl who has struggled with feeling not good enough. I want to talk about all the different extremes that girls go through to feel beautiful.
286
When you get beat it is the worst feeling in football, it is horrific.
287
I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
288
When I was in pre-production for Trees Lounge, I was hearing the cinematographer talking with the production designer about colours and this and that, and feeling like I was losing control.
289
When entire companies embrace a growth mindset, their employees report feeling far more empowered and committed; they also receive far greater organizational support for collaboration and innovation.
290
It is thought and feeling which guides the universe, not deeds.
Edgar Cayce
291
I love thinking of cartoon characters feeling really real feelings. And I love to do that, not just as a fan, but as a creator, so if people want to look for those levels, they’re actually there.
Rebecca Sugar
292
Creativity is an energy. It’s a precious energy, and it’s something to be protected. A lot of people take for granted that they’re a creative person, but I know from experience, feeling it in myself, it is a magic; it is an energy. And it can’t be taken for granted.
293
To be stripped of your freedom, to be stripped of your dignity and the respect you once had, to lose it all and then see life pass you by while you’re sitting inside a prison cell, to wake up one day and get it all back – it’s a very humbling feeling.
294
I was always writing the books that I wanted to write, books that demanded to be written at the time. But, like most writers, you start off feeling your way.
295
I don’t always do a lot of predicting, but, when I get a really strong feeling about something, I will tell people.
Michael Johnson
296
In getting older, I find myself becoming progressively more ineffectual in a lot of different ways, and part of that is down to no longer having the youthful feeling that what you’re doing has any true impact.
297
The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when.
298
There are, I think, four distinct types of weird story: one expressing a mood or feeling, another expressing a pictorial conception, a third expressing a general situation, condition, legend or intellectual conception, and a fourth explaining a definite tableau or specific dramatic situation or climax.
299
Slow thinking has the feeling of something you do. It’s deliberate.
300
And it also became clear that these conditions of inequality and historical injustice have given rise to a feeling of hate in the world – a deeply felt hate that cannot easily be overcome with a few good words.
301
I love grooves and dance music, but I like the feeling behind songs too.
Michael Kiwanuka
302
Until you have a son of your own… you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son.
Kent Nerburn
303
I would trade 20 white babies for an Asian baby. If I’m ever rich, I want a closet full of Asian babies. And I’ll just pull them out whenever I’m feeling down, you know? All kinds. Korean ones. Chinese ones. Vietnamese – not so much. My dad was in the war, and I hold a grudge.
304
Trust your gut feeling about things, listen to what others are saying, and look at the results of your actions. Once you know the truth, you can set about taking action to improve. Everyone will be better for it.
305
It was a feeling of loyalty to our own sex and an enthusiasm to have every degradation that was put upon our sex removed.
306
My personal feeling is that understanding evolution led me to atheism.
307
If I stayed a football player, my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is, my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting that I had in sports, but I found I could have a more profound impact on people.
308
With love, you should go ahead and take the risk of getting hurt because love is an amazing feeling.
309
I don’t display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has, but I’ve developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.
310
For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.
311
The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible.
312
I love the rain. I want the feeling of it on my face.
Katherine Mansfield
313
This idea that a book can either be about character and feeling, or about politics and idea, is just a false binary. Ideas are an expression of the feelings and the intense emotions we hold about the world.
314
I have kept journals at different times in my life. And a lot of my early notebooks became places where I would just think on the page, trying to parse what I was feeling, to find out what I was thinking.
315
Once you get that feeling of winning something and performing at the highest level, you gain that extra confidence to help you set new targets. That is something I have always done, mentally-wise.
316
I don’t like feeling stuck, like I’m not going anywhere.
317
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
318
Guided only by their feeling for symmetry, simplicity, and generality, and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things, creative mathematicians now, as in the past, are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness.
E. T. Bell
319
It’s often just enough to be with someone. I don’t need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You’re not alone.
320
I remember how being young and black and gay and lonely felt. A lot of it was fine, feeling I had the truth and the light and the key, but a lot of it was purely hell.
321
Self-care is really about taking care of you and focusing on feeling good about yourself – mind and body.
322
I think in the ’70s that there was a general feeling of chaos, a feeling that the idea of the ’60s as ‘ideal’ was a misnomer. Nothing seemed ideal anymore. Everything seemed in-between.
323
Joy, feeling one’s own value, being appreciated and loved by others, feeling useful and capable of production are all factors of enormous value for the human soul.
324
When we have a good balance between thinking and feeling… our actions and lives are always the richer for it.
325
My husband cooks fancier food for himself than I’ve ever cooked on-air. I call him from the road, and he’s making champagne-vanilla salmon or black-cherry pork chop. Half of me is feeling unworthy. Not only am I not a chef, I’m not a better cook than my own husband!
326
A good feeling for me is when you train, and then you put on fresh clothes. New clothes after a training session – you have this rush of endorphins from exercise that everybody gets, and then you get that nice feeling of fresh clothes. It’s a double whammy.
327
You have a feeling when you’re recording, like, ‘This is gonna translate really well,’ and when you see it live, and it kind of proves that, that’s an amazing feeling.
328
It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can’t fly away.
329
A big part of depression is feeling really lonely, even if you’re in a room full of a million people.
330
On the summit of Everest, I had a feeling of great satisfaction to be first there.
331
Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.
Edna Ferber
332
The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.
333
It’s very interesting, the joke comes first and then the wording comes within five seconds, maybe ten seconds. My thing is to get the joke across in as few words as possible. However, sometimes a word that’s not really needed does help the rhythm of it. It’s a gut feeling.
334
I don’t care who you are, if you’re not feeling anxious before playing in a final, you’re not a real person. I don’t care who you are.
335
When does she do all this thinking? We’re together all the time but she thinks deeply about things and with feeling and she can remember the facts. We’ve been married 48 years.
336
I love being in love. It’s the best feeling in the world.
337
I spend most of my days pacing around, muttering that I have no ideas, feeling like I’m walking a plank.
338
It’s always a good feeling to get a goal in the team.
339
Speaking as a builder, if you start something, you must have a vision of the thing which arises from your instinct about preserving and enhancing what is there… If you’re working correctly, the feeling doesn’t wander about.
340
During that year at Harvard learning with Carl Steinitz, I had the feeling that I was drinking knowledge out of a fire hose. I learned more in that year than I had learned in the previous ten years of my education.
341
That’s not always a nice feeling when you’ve given everything, and it’s not enough – it’s an empty feeling.
342
You are never so alone as when you are ill on stage. The most nightmarish feeling in the world is suddenly to feel like throwing up in front of four thousand people.
343
I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the winds and sheltered by the trees as other Indian babes. I was living peaceably when people began to speak bad of me. Now I can eat well, sleep well and be glad. I can go everywhere with a good feeling.
Geronimo
344
If women feel they are able to go from partner to partner without feeling emotionally invested and ultimately hurt, they should go for it.
345
I was on my face. I heard the count from one to 10. I kept telling myself that I had to get up, but I couldn’t move. I couldn’t make myself move. It was the strangest feeling.
Rocky Marciano
346
They say people live to be happy. If you actually think about what happiness is, it’s nothing much. When you get to eat ramen after feeling really, really hungry, that’s happiness.
347
There is a painful joke that Europeans often tell of their Gallic neighbors: God created France, the most beautiful country in the world with so much good in it, and ended up feeling guilty about it. He had to do something to make it fair. And so, he created the French people.
348
What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers.
349
What is it precisely, that feeling of ‘returning‘ from a poem? Something is lighter, softer, larger – then it fades, but never completely.
350
I feel like I’m bipolar. I have my different moods and that. That’s why my music exists in so many different worlds – this moment I’m feeling all raw, this moment I’m wanting to talk to a girl, the next moment I’m wanting to talk about spirit and be deep. Then I’m back to being angry.
351
I tried Botox one time and was permanently surprised for a couple of months. It was not a cute look for me. My feeling is, I have three children who should know what emotion I’m feeling at the exact moment I’m feeling it… that is critical.
352
There’s nothing that can beat the feeling of doing a movie or a TV show that makes everyone feel good.
353
It’s so important just to be true to yourself and to own your own character and take responsibility for it, and speak up and say, This isn’t right; this isn’t me.’ It’s a great lesson, not just in wrestling but in life. If you’re not feeling something that’s true to your heart… everybody’s gotta be true.
354
There are things that I can tell my friends that I just can’t tell my family, just as far as how I’m feeling about things. My friends know me the best in a certain way. I just think old friends are really, really important.
355
What people don’t understand is that calling someone too skinny is the same as calling someone too fat; it’s not a nice feeling.
356
Becoming a father is incredible. There is no explanation for the feeling.
Ruben Neves
357
I do take advantage of, you know, feeling sensual and feeling sexy. And I think that is tremendously empowering and is not diminishing in any way. I fell that any woman who is in control, who is in touch with her femininity and sensuality, is a woman that is empowered.
358
Overcoming challenges by learning something in a game is a very rewarding feeling, and that’s what I wanted to prioritise in ‘Dark Souls‘ and ‘Demon’s Souls.’
359
My natural state is to be happy. I’m naturally buoyant. I wake up feeling, ‘What a great morning!’ I’ve had some tragedy in my life, absolutely, but I don’t know one human being who hasn’t. You either learn from it and become empowered by it, or you become a victim to it. It’s life, after all.
360
I’m very shy, and I shy away from people. But the moment I hit the stage, it’s a different feeling I get nerve from somewhere; maybe it’s because it’s something I love to do.
Ella Fitzgerald
361
I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief.
362
Fighters can say whatever, but what they are feeling inside, it’s totally different.
363
I’m just focused on getting to the end of each show and feeling like we’ve done a good job when we walk off stage. And a perfect show isn’t necessarily about making the audience feel good. I know I’ve done my job well if I’ve made people feel… interesting. I like to leave them a little stunned.
364
Animals are thinking, feeling creatures. They’re sensitive.
365
Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.
366
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is.
367
My debut album, ‘Forget the World,’ is all about not listening to the negativity around you and to continue to do what you love, no matter what people think. I love what I do. Dance music is my passion, my life. There is no greater feeling than being one with my fans, partying to the music we love.
368
We are all instruments endowed with feeling and memory. Our senses are so many strings that are struck by surrounding objects and that also frequently strike themselves.
369
When you’ve got the road to yourself, it’s the most amazing feeling.
Edd China
370
I find that after every win, there is a new surge in motivation because it feels so good. I am addicted to winning. That sounds terrible, but it is true you are addicted to that feeling.
371
Comedians like to see people smile. With acting, I love giving people a feeling, an emotion. I like to give people a feeling. When they come away from my scene, I want them to think.
372
I feel very lucky to make a living from my imagination; I’m very grateful for that. I like that what I do is create. I’m feeling very lucky to have had the career I had. It’s gone much longer and bigger than I ever thought it would be.
373
I think there’s a lot of moms who just aren’t feeling protected. And that’s one of the prime purposes of the federal government, is the security of our nation.
374
I became a very simple person. The simple things are the most precious to me. I don’t ascribe much significance to the things I have now. That feeling of touching death has never left me.
375
After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.
376
The feeling of the early ’90s… I think it was more… It was real. It was gutter. It was more entertaining.
377
There is something vulnerable about showing your tattoos to people, even while it gives you a feeling that you are wearing a sleeve when you are naked.
378
I think people from Northern Ireland have some kind of unspoken general feeling of what it is to be around segregation. You have an awareness of it because you know how much grief it’s caused.
379
I’m having this disbelief and dissatisfaction with an establishment that feels like it’s moving backward, and I think there’s a similar feeling with everyone of my age and in the world of music and artistic stuff. Art is an important way those feelings get expressed and help people process their feelings and opinions.
380
I’m much calmer as I get older, but I’m still just as capable of getting that strung-out stressed-out feeling of mental and spiritual unwellness.
381
When I was in Paris I was at a big club in a major city, but nobody really cared about each other. It didn’t have that family feeling, I didn’t see any team spirit.
382
Sweater, n.: garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly.
383
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.
384
A lot of widows feel that they have betrayed their spouse by continuing to live. It’s deranged thinking. I know that, but that doesn’t stop you feeling it.
385
It is my feeling that Time ripens all things; with Time all things are revealed; Time is the father of truth.
386
Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions, by their choice.
387
It’s a small community, the classical music community, along with the excitement of new places and new things and this feeling of being at home wherever you go because that’s where your community is.
388
It turns out that our ability to connect with other people is driven by our ability to connect deeply with ourselves. And that can be just a few minutes sitting on your porch feeling the breeze against your face. That can be a few moments spent in meditation or in prayer or remembering three things you’re grateful for.
389
I just wanna give a big shout out to all the fans out there who have followed my work up until now. You guys are amazing!! Hearing from fans is the best feeling in the world.
Lindsey Shaw
390
It’s pretty amazing to see something in your head and write it down, go out and shoot it, then see it on the big screen. It’s a pretty amazing feeling.
391
I think everyone can relate to that fall from grace – having life change in an instant or having to stand for some of your bad choices, that feeling of ‘Nothing is ever going to be good again.’
392
I was told that when I’m dancing, I give off the feeling of a rainy day.
Rain
393
Half our mistakes in life arise from feeling where we ought to think, and thinking where we ought to feel.
John Churton Collins
394
A lot of people say ‘Boo’d Up’ reminds them of ’90s R&B. It has that feeling, which is why I think people take to the song so much.
395
I’d like to do a story about the medieval ages where in every scene you’d sort of feel that you were in the 12th century. That would be great to get that feeling.
396
I believe the Champions League has all that magic because it gathers all the best European teams, and that gives you the feeling of trying to be the best. That’s why the Champions League has this special kind of emotion.
397
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set, and you’re working out, you’re going to feel good.
398
Yet, in spite of this world-wide system of linkages, there is, at this very moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale.
399
I don’t even want a song to ramp up the drama, you know? I want music to be there only when it really enhances the feeling.
400
Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place.
401
I don’t have any real spirituality in my life – I’m kind of an atheist – but when music can take me to the highest heights, it’s almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.
402
My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.’
403
‘Imposter Syndrome‘ is the feeling of wearing a mask and playing a role that one does not feel at home in. It is when you feel like you or your work is a fluke and that you’re a dwarf amongst giants. Many of us have this, especially when we’re in some sort of creative industry.
404
I spend most of my life feeling like I’ve been shot out of a cannon.
405
This happiness consisted of nothing else but the harmony of the few things around me with my own existence, a feeling of contentment and well-being that needed no changes and no intensification.
406
As we get more transparent with data sets about infrastructure and systems management, I have a feeling we’ll see big changes in how we think about complexity and our relationship to our actions.
407
One of the great attractions of patriotism – it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what’s more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.
408
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
409
All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.
410
I have never known what it feels like to wake up in the morning full of the joys of spring, and wander through the day feeling capable of coping.
411
My mum would play Stevie Wonder around the house, and I remember just loving the songs and feeling so blown away by how much was going on.
412
I think community and connection with people around us – and feeling that we belong – is really valuable.
413
Feeling compassion for ourselves in no way releases us from responsibility for our actions. Rather, it releases us from the self-hatred that prevents us from responding to our life with clarity and balance.
414
I think people keep baseballs in their cars, just to be prepared in case they see me. It’s cool to get recognized in public; it’s an incredible feeling.
Mike Trout
415
There is a difference between vulnerability and telling people everything about yourself. Vulnerability is a feeling. Telling everyone about yourself is just facts and details.
416
Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling.
417
I may find myself changing my notions about what I want to do right in the middle of a film. And on days when I’m feeling merry, I shoot merry scenes, and on gloomy days, I shoot gloomy ones.
Francois Truff

418
Food-wise, I’m trying to eat a lot of fruits. I take vitamin pills. For me, that’s helpful. Luckily, if I don’t go to the gym for two weeks, I’m not feeling it yet, but everybody is warning me, ‘Just wait a few more years. You’ll feel it.’
419
I know people who’ve had a nose job, and they’ve walked out feeling a million dollars, and their confidence is tenfold. Good on them! Natural beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes, but if you think surgery would right something you have a problem with, then why shouldn’t you do it?
420
I love my wigs, I love how easy they are. You just put them on and go, you can chose straight hair, curly hair, whatever I am feeling for the day.
421
To have this gold medal around my neck is an indescribable feeling. I’m the happiest person right now.
Jordyn Wieber
422
If ever I was feeling down I would go and write something. It’s a form of escape.
423
Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything.
Terrence Malick
424
Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader – not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon.
425
A statement necklace glams up any outfit without feeling like too much.
Tracy Reese
426
Here comes 40. I’m feeling my age and I’ve ordered the Ferrari. I’m going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.
427
I love being a grandmother. That feeling you have for your own child – you don’t ever think it will be replicated, and I did wonder if I would have to ‘pretend‘ with my grandchildren. But my heart was taken on day one.
428
Nothing prompts creativity like poverty, a feeling of hopelessness, and a bit of panic.
429
I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.
430
There’s intense national feeling in America that could be called patriotism.
431
There’s no greater feeling in the world than when you can put a smile on somebody’s face just by walking into a room. It’s unbelievable. And if I have that power, who am I to waste it, you know?
432
It’s the best feeling when you wake up and it’s warm and cozy, and you don’t have to go to work.
433
When you read about the lives of other people, people of different circumstances or similar circumstances, you are part of their lives for that moment. You inhabit their lives, and you feel what they’re feeling, and that is compassion. If we see that reading does allow us that, we see how absolutely essential reading is.
434
I used to get the feeling, and sometimes I still get it, that sometimes I was fooling somebody; I don’t know who or what, maybe myself.
435
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
436
A man’s as old as he’s feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
437
Leg day is my favorite day. You can’t have a thorough leg workout without feeling completely spent. It’s a challenge, but the benefits of maintain muscle mass on my legs is important because, as the biggest muscle group in the body, it also helps me keep the proper body composition in terms of fat to muscle ratio.
438
I was taking care of people my age who were dying. The constant feeling, hearing from them, was that life is transient and can end very quickly, so don’t postpone your dreams.
439
I, myself, have tried following people around me, and I’ve got lost and ended up feeling emptiness rather than a sense of accomplishment. I’d like everyone to find their own role models within themselves.
440
Most of the songs I sing, they have that blue feeling to it. They have that sorry feeling. And I don’t know what I’m sorry about.
441
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
442
I think it’s hard to describe my style in one sentence. It depends on how I’m feeling. Sometimes I’ll dress more street; other times, I’ll dress more classy. I have so many different ways that I can express myself, so my style is pretty versatile.
443
I remember when I was a child… walking into the woods by myself and feeling the solitude around me build like electricity and pass through my body with a jolt that made my hair prickle.
444
I didn’t grow up feeling very handsome.
445
Inequality causes problems by creating fissures in societies, leaving those at the bottom feeling marginalized or disenfranchised.
446
I usually get myself into situations that cause sparks. I mean I’m a girl that likes the storms. I love feeling alive, I love walking out in the cold in my bare feet and feeling the ice on my toes.
447
I’m Nigerian. I’m African. I have a lot to say. Apart from what I say, though, is the feeling. People can relate to that feeling. It’s a reciprocal relationship. They feed off me and I feed off them.
Burna Boy
448
It’s always nice to be home and be able to see my family. It’s the best feeling.
Isabeli Fontana
449
I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I’m a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself – all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.
450
The key to nature’s therapy is feeling like a tiny part of it, not a master over it. There’s amazing pride in seeing a bee land on a flower you planted – but that’s not your act of creation, it’s your act of joining in.
451
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
452
Hearing a whole entire room sing back to me, ‘I guess it’s true I’m not good at a one-night stand,’ you know, I just can’t explain the feeling. It’s unreal. You feel like you’ve just read your diary to thousands of people and they’ve gone, ‘It’s okay. We still love you.’
453
I don’t get butterflies. I get a good feeling in my stomach before I compete. When I don’t, I get worried.
454
Liberalism is a religion. Its tenets cannot be proved, its capacity for waste and destruction demonstrated. But it affords a feeling of spiritual rectitude at little or no cost.
455
Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are.
Dinah Maria Mulock
456
Empathy is about two people – two people meeting, getting to know each other and tuning in to what the other person is thinking and feeling.
457
There’s nothing more exciting than that conversation you have with a live audience. It’s the best feeling in the world.
458
One of the hardest aspects of this protracted public persona is not knowing others as well as they feel they know me. It’s a rather clumsy feeling actually; to not know someone who acts as though you’re old friends.
Christopher Knight
459
Music embodies feeling without forcing it to contend and combine with thought, as it is forced in most arts and especially in the art of words.
460
There’s no better feeling than making your little girls laugh.
Jerry O’Connell
461
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
462
I think I’ve never stopped feeling like a kid.
463
Every goal, every action, every thought, every feeling one experiences, whether it be consciously or unconsciously known, is an attempt to increase one’s level of peace of mind.
Sydney Madwed
464
I generally find that comparison is the fast track to unhappiness. No one ever compares themselves to someone else and comes out even. Nine times out of ten, we compare ourselves to people who are somehow better than us and end up feeling more inadequate.
465
It was a matter of survival for the local people, but it was the most violent scene I have ever witnessed. The people in my group, feeling helpless, were all spellbound and aghast at the same time. I became a vegetarian shortly after that.
Wendie Malick
466
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
467
In my mind’s eye, I visualize how a particular… sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
468
I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.
469
I hate death; it takes people away from you. You’re left feeling rudderless.
470
Buddhist mindfulness is about the present, but I also think it’s about being real. Being awake to everything. Feeling like nothing can hurt you if you can look it straight on.
Krista Tippett
471
For me, stardom is feeling happiness and being positive.
472
On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we’re going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.
473
I grew up fly fishing when I was a kid. The feeling of it is fun. I went fly-fishing on Lake Delaware once, and I caught a record brook trout.
474
In New York, just standing still on the sidewalk is a weird feeling. You have this incessant need to do things. Los Angeles is about kicking back, relaxing, your inner child, peace.
475
Looking good and feeling like death is a difficult combination for people to understand.
476
I’m very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog – It’s the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!
477
Skin care is one of the most important things for the body and feeling good.
478
It’s an amazing feeling playing at a packed-out Villa Park.
479
I’m very physical. It’s an important part of being a woman – feeling good about yourself and really being in tune with your personality.
480
Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn’t feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.
481
If you have the feeling that something is wrong, don’t be afraid to speak up.
Fred Korematsu
482
It sure is a nice feeling to know that people will remember you after you’re gone, that you’ll manage to be a little bit of history.
Sarah Vaughan
483
Emotions are contagious. We’ve all known it experientially. You know after you have a really fun coffee with a friend, you feel good. When you have a rude clerk in a store, you walk away feeling bad.
484
I’ve only had two rules: Do all you can and do it the best you can. It’s the only way you ever get that feeling of accomplishing something.
Colonel Sanders
485
I have discovered that my interest in my dear pupil, Mabel, has ripened into a far deeper feeling than that of mere friendship. In fact, I know that I have learned to love her very sincerely.
486
Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the polls were right?
487
We don’t know the probabilities of future events. Still, you have to take action, and so you do it on gut feeling. That’s the world we live in.
488
A successful argument for a government manufacturing policy has to go beyond the feeling that it’s better to produce ‘real things’ than services. American consumers value health care and haircuts as much as washing machines and hair dryers.
489
Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.
490
Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write ‘War and Peace’ in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling.
491
It’s hard to always listen to your dad when you get older. You want to move on, but he has the knowledge. I think he did just the right amount of pushing me but also letting me do my thing, and just making sure that I always enjoyed the game, and I’m not feeling pressured.
492
While we walking, while we breathing, we dying… I be really feeling like, even though we live to die, some people be dying to live.
Kodak Black
493
Most of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful, but not in a cute, festive way. More in a life-threatening way, that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother.
494
I use color in terms of emotional quality, as a vehicle for feeling… feeling is everything I have experienced or thought.
Adolph Gottlieb
495
Happiness, the feeling of positivity, really is the foundation of productivity.
496
If I’m feeling like a Barbie girl, I’m gonna throw that blonde wig on. It’s just the mood.
497
Sailing a boat calls for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with the very heart and soul of the boat itself. Sailing teaches alertness and courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford.
498
Fragrance, to me, is a scent that you can call your own, have other people identify you with, and also express the vibes that you’re feeling that day.
499
Cartoons make kids happy, and that’s a great feeling.
500
I’m having this conversation with you now. I’m talking, but I’m thinking, feeling, smelling, and moving. Yet I’m concentrating on what you’re saying. So that means there’s more things going on in the body than just the present thing that the person’s got you doing.
501
Fashion is about comfort and feeling good.
Max Azria
502
When you’re onstage and the audience is smiling and singing and bopping along and you’re all on the same level, it’s the best feeling in the world. It may sound dumb and corny to say it, but it’s like pure love.
503
I figure that that has a ten year cycle. At the end of that ten years, I began to get worried that I would run into what is known as the writer’s block, the feeling of not being able to do these things.
A. E. van Vogt
504
You need to hunt something that can shoot back at you to really classify yourself as a hunter. You need to understand the feeling of what it’s like to go into the field and know your opposition can take you out.
505
It is such a surreal feeling to have my first single go No. 1!
506
When I feel like exercising I just lie down until the feeling goes away.
Robert M. Hutchins
507
When it’s said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and it’s a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people.
508
At one point, I was in a place where it didn’t feel like it was going to happen, and I was feeling pretty down on myself. But I stuck to it, and now I have a hit comedy on my hands. You’ve got to keep plugging away at it. If you really believe in yourself, you can definitely make it happen.
Zachary Knighton
509
The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.
510
We might possess every technological resource… but if our language is inadequate, our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling are still running in the old cycles, our process may be ‘revolutionary’ but not transformative.
511
As far as feeling like I need to prove myself or this or that, I don’t feel that way anymore. I’ve been in this business for ten years, so I’m kind of past all that. I was there where, as a female, you always feel like you have to prove yourself; you have to outwork them. But all I worry about now is being prepared.
512
Regret is not a proactive feeling. It is situated in disappointment, sorrow, even remorse. It merely wishes things were different without an act to cause a difference. However, repentance is different. Repentance is an admission of, hatred of, and turning away from sin before God.
513
The best feeling in the world is a hard workout, a shower, and a protein shake.
514
The weirdest place I ever actually woke up in was a villa on the beach in Mexico. It was burning hot, and there were all these crabs walking around me. But I was feeling good, so I went with the vibe.
Future
515
I’ve got nothing against selling out, but just let me do it for something that matters. Not so I can be Number One With a Bullet, as it were, but so I can leave this world feeling like I made a difference.
Harry Chapin
516
I love the physical thing of being on the earth that bore you. I have the same feeling when I walk in a very beautiful place that I have when I play and it goes right.
Jacqueline du Pre
517
I’m very fortunate to have a coach that I got to stay with all this time. Every year the bond gets stronger and better, and we understand each other more. And it’s like she can tell if I walk into the gym what kind of mood I’m in, what she has to fix for the practice I need, or how I’m feeling.
518
I think that for me, personally, a lot of my choices have been to do with my own issues of not feeling safe as a child and feeling a sense of stability.
519
I can’t help feeling that I am not a very important person, and being treated like one gives me strange feelings.
520
Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.
521
Eleven years ago, my wife and I had had a baby, so I didn’t go to Edinburgh Fringe for the first time in years. Tim Key won the comedy award and I was sat at home with the baby feeling very jealous, genuinely.
522
No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.
523
Being a manager is the closest buzz I’ll ever get to playing. For every low, you get a high, and that becomes an addiction and a feeling you are always chasing.
524
I have a complex feeling about genre. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. I have the urge to make audiences thrill with the excitement of a genre, but I also try to betray and destroy the expectations placed on that genre.
525
I’m always asked how my husband is feeling about my success with a note of concern. He feels great. It’s not hard to feel good about your spouse making money.
526
Chanel No. 5 is my perfume when I’m feeling like a lady. It’s old-school and warm – and it reminds me of my mom.
527
I always go back to how people behave. If you watch how people actually behave in a situation, it’s very simple and honest and contained. You don’t need to use as much expression, as much feeling. Some characters will boil over, and that’s another thing, but a lot of times I think you can just do very, very little.
528
It’s good to test yourself and develop your talents and ambitions as fully as you can and achieve greater success; but I think success is the feeling you get from a job well done, and the key thing is to do the work.
529
There is sometimes a feeling in crime fiction that good writing gets in the way of story. I have never felt that way. All you have is language. Why write beneath yourself? It’s an act of respect for the reader as much as yourself.
John Connolly
530
My goal was to become the best dancer in the world and, because I started late, I always had this feeling I was playing catch-up, so I’ve been a bit of a maniac most of my life, sort of striving.
531
Writing is sort of putting a puzzle together halfway. Then, performing it has always been the completion of it. Once that happens, I’m feeling verbally communal with other people. It’s out there and I feel so much better about it.
532
It’s no better feeling than coming into a game being the underdog, and everybody going around telling you you can’t win, and people say we going to lose by this much and that much.
533
I try to make the good days great and take something positive from the days I’m not feeling good – work on technique or something like that.
Katie Ledecky
534
You need to feel that the game is important to you. Lose that feeling and you lose your edge. There’s no faking that kind of emotion. You can’t invent the feeling. It’s got to be natural, real.
535
My motivation is, in part, a bit of angst that comes from feeling like I don’t belong, that our generation doesn’t belong.
536
I don’t think that I’m broken at all. I no longer think that I’m a mess. I just think I’m a deeply feeling person in a messy world.
537
Pride is a tricky, glorious, double-edged feeling.
538
I was early taught by sorrow to shed tears, and now when sudden joy lights up, or any unexpected sorrow strikes my heart, I find it difficult to repress the full and swelling tide of feeling.
539
I like the feeling when you don’t have much time and you have to think fast.
540
Eros is not tranquil – it gives us spikes of happiness rather than a constant feeling of wellbeing. It’s the love we feel at the beginning of a love affair and corresponds to the expression ‘falling in love‘ since it is as involuntary an impulse as a physical fall.
Francois Lelord
541
I love being able to pass from a feeling of euphoria to one of calm and serenity.
542
There are times you break up with a loved one, a friend, or whatever. You feel alone. It’s a very easy feeling to understand – the feeling of loss, heartache, and pain.
543
Do and act on what you believe to be right, and you’ll wake up the next morning feeling good about yourself.
544

I grew up with the smell of the lake and the feeling of the woods.
633
I am such a sap when it comes to love! I believe in love at first sight all the way. But that’s just the way it happened to me with my relationships. I love the idea of two people looking at each other and electricity flying around them; it’s so romantic, and it’s a great feeling.
Kim Barnouin

Hopepunk is a spirit or a mood. It isn’t an actual thing. It is a feeling. It is the Scandinavian concept of ‘hygge’ or ‘coziness’ of the mind. It is a warm, happy, charming, uplifting concept that leaves you with a fuzzy feeling in your tummy.
