#Feelings

"Because I trust in the ever-changing climate of the heart. (At least, today I feel that way.) I think it is necessary to have many experiences for the sake of feeling something; for the sake of being challenged, and for the sake of being expressive, to offer something to someone else, to learn what we are capable of."

"Love, I think, is a gateway to the world, not an escape from it."

"Never apologize for showing your feelings. When you do, you are apologizing for the truth."

"To control the breathing is to control the mind. With different patterns of breathing, you can fall in love, you can hate someone, you can feel the whole spectrum of feelings just by changing your breathing."

"in a worldfull oftemporary thingsyou area perpetual feeling."

"The wind may be invisible, but it’s colored by memories of you, as you gently blew into my life, adding motion and emotion to my still-beating heart."

"The size of your sighs tell how deeply you’re in love. How I feel is very much like a stressed and distressed midget trying to breathe."

"Sometimes loneliness makes the loudest noise."

"To hide feelings when you are near crying is the secret of dignity."

"I do not write poetry; I take words and dip them in feelings."

"The First Splendid Truth: To be happy, I need to think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth."
