Famous quotes containing the word feeling:

    Pale flakes with fingering stealth come feeling for our faces—
    We cringe in holes, back on forgotten dreams, and stare, snow-dazed,
    Deep into grassier ditches.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    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)

    Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
