#Feeling

"Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision."

"Summertime. It was a song. It was a season. I wondered if that season would ever live inside of me."

"Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel."

"But I love Halloween, and I love that feeling: the cold air, the spooky dangers lurking around the corner."

"I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special."

"Unworthiness is the inmost frightening thought that you do not belong, no matter how much you want to belong, that you are an outsider and will always be an outsider. It is the idea that you are flawed and cannot be fixed. It is wanting to be loved and feeling unlovable, or wanting to love and feeling that you are not capable of loving."

"The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne."

"Every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required."

"Any man filled with empathy is capable of gaining valuable insights on the human condition through the suffering of others. You do not need to suffer to know suffering, but you need empathy first to identify and feel the suffering of others around you."

"Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will -- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love."
