"I love firm hugs. Statues are so affectionate. Well, at least compared to my ex wife."

"In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it."

"I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them."

"I've come to the point where I never feel the need to stop and evaluate whether or not I am happy. I'm just 'being', and without question, by default, it works."

"I fall in love with you four times a year: winter, spring, summer, and fall. The leaves may change, but how I feel about you does not."

"Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose."

"The heart sees what the eyes do not, and the heart hears what the ears cannot. Sight and sound are vibrations, and so is love."

"She said she'd love me forever. That was two days ago, so I should probably ask her again if she still feels the same way."

"Emotions are like muscles. Most of them go highly unattended, it's usually the weaker, undefined ones that cause injury to the rest, and there is most certainly memory response in play."

"One of the things I've started doing lately is tracking my dreams.

"The only way God can strengthen his presence in our will is to weaken his presence in our feelings. Otherwise we would become spiritual cripples, unable to walk without emotional crutches. This is why he gives us dryness, sufferings, and failures."

"Hope is the crystal meth of emotions. It hooks you fast and kills you hard."

"Believe God for something today. Prayer is the key to connecting with God and allowing Him to speak to your spirit. Open your heart and free your mind."

"The words “I love you” swim and swarm as they swirl and form fluidly, and if you are thirsty then how I feel about you is an extra large—with free refills."

"But no: he was empty, he was confronted by a vast anger, a desperate anger, he saw it and could almost have touched it. But it was inert - if it were to live and find expression and suffer, he must lend it his own body. It was other people's anger. "Swine!"He clenched his fists, he strode along, but nothing came, the anger remained external to himself."

"When I open them, most of the books have the smell of an earlier time leaking out between the pages - a special odor of the knowledge and emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers. Breathing it in, I glance through a few pages before returning each book to its shelf."

"A pitcher throws baseballs, but a pitcher also holds liquid. My emotions are so fluid I wonder how large the pitcher would have to be to hold my heart. Probably 6’3”."

"Do not only think about it, but feel about it, also, before taking appropriate action."
