Emotional Feeling State

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

“Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created.

—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“Ever since you came back from Tibet I’ve had a feeling you were planning to divorce me and marry a laboratory.”
—John Colton (1886–1946)

“A ship is a bit of terra firma cut off from the main; it is a state in itself; and the captain is its king.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
