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

“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“I’ve had this feeling ever since I graduated. This kind of compulsion that I have to be rude all the time.”
—Calder Willingham (1923–1995)

“You mean they could still be living in a primitive state of neurotic irresponsibility?”
—Terry Southern (b. 1924)
