Emotional Feeling State

Famous quotes containing the words emotional, feeling and/or state:

    Most people agree that men have trouble showing hurt, jealousy, and fear but even mothers, whose wider emotional range is often taken for granted, also seem more comfortable with anger than these other “unparentlike” feelings. This is probably because several generations of mothers have now been twelve-step-programmed and pop-psychologized enough to believe that expressing hurt, fear, anxiety, or dependence will create pathological guilt in their kids.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    My flowery and green age was passing away, and I feeling a chill in
    the fires had been wasting my heart, for I was drawing near the
    hillside above the grave.
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    “He swore that day till the leaves shook on the trees. Charming! Delightful! Never have I enjoyed such swearing before or since. Sir, on that memorable day he swore like an angel from Heaven!”
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
