Notable quotes

“Pleasant feeling is impermanent, conditioned, dependently-arisen, bound to decay, to vanish, to fade away, to cease—and so too are painful feeling and neutral feeling. So anyone who, on experiencing a pleasant feeling, thinks: "This is my self", must, at the cessation of that pleasant feeling, think: "My self has gone!"”
— Gautama Buddha, Digha Nikaya, M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 15 (Mahanidana Sutta), verse 29, p. 227
“You only get one life so you might as well feel all the feelings.”
— Greta Gerwig in "Greta Gerwig gets real" Dazed (August 27, 2015)
“Within structures defined by profit, by linear power, by institutional dehumanization, our feelings were not meant to survive. Kept around as unavoidable adjuncts or pleasant pastimes, feelings were meant to kneel to thought as we were meant to kneel to men. But women have survived.”
— Audre Lorde, "Poetry Is Not a Luxury" (1985),
“Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. Stretch out with your feelings!”
— Obi-Wan Kenobi, interpreted by Alec Guinness in the film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), written by George Lucas.
“He thought as a sage, though he felt as a man.”
— James Beattie, The Hermit, line 8.
“Wenn ihr's nicht fühlt ihr werdet's nicht erjagen.”
— You'll never attain it unless you know the feeling.
