feelings

If one felt successful, there'd be so little incentive to be successful.

How we feel is not who we are. We might feel like failures, but as long as we are still trying, we are not failures. We are works in progress.

The difficult thing is not to pick up the information but to recognise it - to accept it into our consciousness. Most of us find it difficult to know what we are feeling about anything. In any situation it is almost impossible to know what is really happening to us. This is one of the penalties of being human and having a brain so swarming with interesting suggestions and ideas and self-distrust.

People tell me it's a sinTo know and feel too much within

Inside of all of us there is the need and the desire to be heard, to have our innermost thoughts, feelings and desires expressed for others to hear, to see and to understand. We all want to matter to someone, to leave a mark. Writers just take those thoughts, feelings and desires and express them in such a way that the reader not only reads them but feels them as well.

When it comes to change; feelings like frustrations, anger and irritations can easily be converted by each person to become a powerful force of change.

I want to drag knives over my skin, just to feel something other than shame, but I'm not even brave enough for that

Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.

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

Total knowledge is annihilation Of the desire to see, to touch, to feel The world sensed only through senses And immune to the knowledge without feeling.

When you feel bad, find a person to talk to and cry with, to tell of your anger and other helpless feelings.

I don't display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has, but I've developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.

As I got older and started moving up the ranking, the matches got more important, and my emotions ratcheted up. I guess I hid my real feelings behind the anger.

Sometimes the routes leading to feelings of anger are so convoluted and circuitous that it takes enormous skill to discern their original source, or fountainhead. But regardless of the reason for or the source of the anger or the relative ease or complexity in perceiving either the anger or its source - everybody, but everybody, gets angry.

I think poetry was always where I went to deal with my deepest feelings.

Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas.

Poetry and novels are lists of our devotions. We love the feel of making the marks as the feelings are rising and falling.

A poem might be defined as thinking about feelings - about human feelings and frailties.
