“Always be honest with yourself about how you are feeling, no matter what kinds of emotions might be building up inside of you. …Pretending to ourselves that we are not feeling something, does not make that emotion disappear.”

“You deserve a relationship where your feelings matter. And the fastest way to get to that kind of relationship is to decide that your emotions matter to YOU. If you stop abandoning yourself when you are experiencing negative emotions, you will come to trust that you will always be there for yourself. You will feel a deep sense of inner peace arise within you.”

Teal Swan (1984) American spiritual teacher

“I would then say that there are two kinds of feeling. The first is to feel in the sense of concentrating your emotions on something immediately available for your understanding: you make your understanding out of the emotions you have about it. The second is to feel in the sense of being affected without trying to understand: something is felt, you do not know what, and it is more important to feel it than to try to understand it, since once you try to understand it you no longer feel it.”

Laura Riding Jackson (1901–1991) poet, critic, novelist, essayist and short story writer

“The only emotions that you can heal are the ones that you let yourself feel and express.”

Teal Swan (1984) American spiritual teacher

“The composer does not sit around and wait for an inspiration to walk up and introduce itself…Making music is actually little else than a matter of invention aided and abetted by emotion. In composing we combine what we know of music with what we feel.”

George Gershwin (1898–1937) American composer and pianist

Isaac Goldberg Tin Pan Alley (New York: John Day, 1930) p. viii.

“Never be ashamed of how you feel. If you feel shame because of how you feel, it means you have been judged by others and told that your feelings were wrong or bad. But the reality is you wouldn't be feeling them if there wasn't a very valid reason to be feeling them. Your feelings are valid. If you feel an emotion, there is a good reason that you are feeling that emotion. Don't let anyone tell you how you should or shouldn't feel.”

Teal Swan (1984) American spiritual teacher

book The Anatomy of Loneliness

“Certain things leave you in your life and certain things stay with you. And that's why we're all interested in movies- those ones that make you feel, you still think about. Because it gave you such an emotional response, it's actually part of your emotional make-up, in a way.”

Tim Burton (1958) American filmmaker
