“I was confused. I didn’t feel telepathic; I merely felt hungry.”

“It gave me a strange feeling, and the rest of that night I didn’t say much, but merely sat there and drank, trying to decide if I was getting older and wiser, or just plain old.”

“When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.”

“I felt aimless, but it felt fine. (This is not what I wanted to feel though. I wanted to feel a great absence, a longing, a distance that would finally inspire.)”

“I had hurt her feelings, I found out later; I didn’t know I had that power.”

“Even a monotonously undeviating path of self-examination does not necessarily lead to self-knowledge. I stumble towards my grave confused and hurt and hungry.”

“I felt ill at ease with all this air about me, lost before the confusion of innumerable prospects.”

“It's not that I don't feel bad about it. It's just that I don't feel worse today than what I felt yesterday.”

“I feel like an outsider, and I always will feel like one. I've always felt that I wasn't a member of any particular group.”

“There is nothing in the real world which is merely an inert fact. Every reality is there for feeling: it promotes feeling; and it is felt.”
