I have always said and felt that true enjoyment can not be described.

I come from a family of 12, so I kind of got a little lost as a child.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I’m always going to feel everything. It’s my nature.

I did not learn the flaws of the criminal-justice system in law school or college or by reading about it. I grew up knowing the flaws and how it was disproportionately impacting the black community. It’s not academic for me.

My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

I’ve had everything pierced at some point.

Jump out the window if you are the object of passion. Flee it if you feel it. Passion goes, boredom remains.

Your feelings so are important to write down, to capture, and to remember because today you’re heartbroken, but tomorrow you’ll be in love again.

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

I never smoked a cigarette until I was nine.

Wives are people who feel they don’t dance enough.

What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

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.

I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home.

I can’t consciously explain how people feel after reading my books. All is too personal.

I get a little bit emotional during a game!

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

There are so many emotions that you’re feeling, you can get stifled by them if you’re feeling them all at once. What I try to do is take one moment – one simple, simple feeling – and expand it into three-and-a-half minutes.

It’s presumptuous to say you know how somebody feels.

When I was little… I didn’t relate to princesses. I saw Maleficent, and I just thought she was so – she was so elegant.

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.

There is a boundary to men’s passions when they act from feelings; but none when they are under the influence of imagination.

All I can say is I am sensitive to discrimination on any basis because I have experienced that upset.

I’m a movie maker, but I have the same feelings as the average guy out there.

I have been a youngster and I know speeches are boring.

When we’re falling in love or out of it, that’s when we most need a song that says how we feel. Yeah, I write a lot of songs about boys. And I’m very happy to do that.

The fact is that people are good, Give people affection and security, and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.

Songs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person who you feel that way about will hear about it someday.

Science never makes things that do not have to do with what we feel, by which I mean what we want and what we fear.

Anger cannot be dishonest.

Anything I’ve ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time.

There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.

It’s not possible to stop love.

When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do with you anymore.

The uncertainty of parenting can bring up feelings in us that range from frustration to terror.

I think one’s feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.

What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

I think I had a mild case of Asperger’s as a younger guy, but that typically just wears off after a while. For some people, anyway.

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.

The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end.

I don’t have this feeling that 70 is really old.

I understood at a very early age that in nature, I felt everything I should feel in church but never did. Walking in the woods, I felt in touch with the universe and with the spirit of the universe.

I mean, I went to a Catholic boys‘ school for a year, but that was to play hockey. Religion class was quite contentious for me.

I kind of love Cole Miller.

I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.

On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.

The heart is forever inexperienced.

I’ve been writing poems since I was in the Navy – to Rosalynn. I found I could say things in poems that I never could in prose. Deeper, more personal things. I could write a poem about my mother that I could never tell my mother. Or feelings about being on a submarine that I would have been too embarrassed to share with fellow submariners.

Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don’t know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.

I didn’t read so much Japanese literature. Because my father was a teacher of Japanese literature, I just wanted to do something else.

I’m such an emotional and sensitive person, so it only makes sense that my songs are as well.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.

U2 is an original species… there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings – words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.

Religious faith, like political belief, should be based on reasoning, on the development of thought and feelings. The two things are inseparable.

All emotion is involuntary when genuine.
