Tears come from the heart and not from the brain.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

I’m not generally a sensitive person, but I tend to be more sensitive toward others and what they’re going through. I don’t know if that’s the healthiest thing, but it’s the truth.

Sensual love deceives one as to the nature of heavenly love; it could not do so alone, but since it unconsciously has the element of heavenly love within it, it can do so.

We never love a person, but only qualities.

One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.

Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have any songs that are about how much I love someone. They’re all either about, like, ‚I hate you,‘ or ‚You make me hate me.‘

I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had smallpox.

I am not a particularly thick-skinned person.

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I’m concerned, love is absolutely everything.

You see, you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. You have emotions, you have thoughts, you have a will, and you have a conscience. You are a complex being! And Jesus came to heal every single part of you. There’s not one part that He doesn’t want to make completely whole.

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.

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.

Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Listening to and understanding our inner sufferings will resolve most of the problems we encounter.

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.

In time we hate that which we often fear.

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.

People can cry much easier than they can change.

I think that it’s okay to be mad at someone who hurt you. This isn’t about, like, the pageantry of trying to seem like nothing affects you.

My brain and body and nervous system, they see a plane ride, a long plane trip, as an opportunity to sleep with nothing coming in, nothing to do. I just go offline the minute I’m on the plane.

There’s nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively.

He who cannot give anything away cannot feel anything either.

Even when a person has all of life’s comforts – good food, good shelter, a companion – he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

Love is trembling happiness.

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

The emotions in a song – the anger, aggression – have got to be legitimate.

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.

May I kiss you then? On this miserable paper? I might as well open the window and kiss the night air.

Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something’s wrong. He’s not right in the brain.

Crankiness is at the essence of all comedy. My wife and I were discussing the different types of cranky. There’s entertaining cranky, annoying cranky, angry cranky.

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

I really didn’t consider myself happy or unhappy.

Faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.

Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart; for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.

Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren’t susceptible to rational evaluation. They grow quietly, spreading underground, and erupt suddenly, all over the place.

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence.

She said the object and color in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on how we feel.

When I walk with you I feel as if I had a flower in my buttonhole.

Our vanity is hardest to wound precisely when our pride has just been wounded.

Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty.

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.

The word ‚happy‘ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

I have never smuggled anything in my life. Why, then, do I feel an uneasy sense of guilt on approaching a customs barrier?

A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.

What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?

I’m tired. I’m tired of feeling rejected by the American people. I’m tired of waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the war.

A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

Sometimes, I’m very embarrassed.

Hatred is an affair of the heart; contempt that of the head.

Fear is exciting for me.

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.

We humans are self-absorbed by nature, and spend most of our time focusing inwardly on our emotions, on our wounds, on our fantasies.
