Toni Morrison - Quotes

 You think because he doesn't love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn't want you anymore that he is right -- that his judgement and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don't. It's a bad word, 'belong.' Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn't be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can't even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, beacuse the clouds let him; they don't wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. You can't own a human being. You can't lose what you don't own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can't value you more than you value yourself.

 Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,

Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here?

Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Quotes

 Ripcord:
Look, I think you and me got off on the wrong foot. See, I'm attracted to you. And you, you're attracted to me. And him, the damn Zen master, he creeps me out. What I'm trying to say is...
Shana 'Scarlett' O'Hara:
We're attracted to each other.
Ripcord:
Thank you!
Shana 'Scarlett' O'Hara:
[cuts him off] That's what your saying. It's not what I'm saying.
Ripcord:
It's not. So, what are you saying?
Shana 'Scarlett' O'Hara:
Attraction is an emotion. Emotions are not based on science. And if you can't quantify or prove that something exists, well, then in my mind, it doesn't.
Ripcord:
Okay. I'll get back to you on that one.

French Kiss - Quotes

 Luc:
You know, I am feeling some very strange emotions right now. Guilt, remorse, my self-esteem is rock bottom. I am trying to think, what can I possibly do to say I'm sorry?
Kate:
Shut up! You haven't spent sixty seconds with me when you weren't after something, so what is it this time? Buy, sell, or trade?
Luc:
Oui, it is so true. I used you... a lot. You helped me to get my vine and I left you with nothing. So now, I ask myself what I can possibly do to make it up to you. [sees the police waiting for him]
Luc:
And so now, I am here for you. [runs away]

M. Scott Peck - Quotes

 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.

Brennan Manning - Quotes

 To ignore, repress, or dismiss our feelings is to fail to listen to the stirrings of the Spirit within our emotional life. Jesus listened. In John's Gospel we are told that Jesus was moved with the deepest emotions (11:33)... The gospel portrait of the beloved Child of Abba is that of a man exquisitely attuned to His emotions and uninhibited in expressing them. The Son of Man did not scorn of reject feelings as fickle and unreliable. They were sensitive antennae to which He listened carefully and through which He perceived the will of His Father for congruent speech and action.

Indecent Proposal - Quotes

 David:
[while playing pool] I guess there's limits to what money can buy.
John:
Not many.
Diana:
Well some things aren't for sale.
John:
Such as?
Diana:
Well you can't buy people.
John:
That's naive, Diana. I buy people every day.
Diana:
In business, maybe, but you can't buy people not when real emotions are involved.
John:
So you're saying you can't buy love? That's a bit of a cliché don't you think?
Diana:
It's absolutely true.
John:
Is it? What do you think?
David:
I agree with Diana.
John:
You do? Well let's test the cliché. Suppose... I were to offer you one million dollars for one night with your wife.
David:
I'd assume you're kidding.
John:
Let's pretend I'm not. What would you say?
Diana:
He'd tell you to go to hell.
John:
I didn't hear him.
David:
I'd tell you to go to hell.
John:
That's a reflex answer because you view the question as hypothetical. But let's say that there was real money backing it up. I'm not kidding. A million dollars. The night would come and go but the money could last a lifetime. Think of it. A million dollars. A lifetime of security... for one night. Don't answer right away. Just consider it; seriously?
David:
We're positive, okay?
John:
Well then you've proved your point. There are limits to what money can buy. It's late, and I hate to admit it, but I have meetings in the morning. May I have one dance? With your permission.
David:
You know something? I think you better hurry on to that meeting. You don't want to miss out on your next billion.
John:
Understood. I wouldn't part with her either. Good night.

Happy Accidents - Quotes

 Sam Deed:
[Ruby is relating to her therapist what Sam said about love and time and we cut to witness it] Your heart is like a clock measuring time and one's emotional state determines the flow of time. It speeds it up or slows it down.
Ruby:
So, time is a personal thing?
Sam Deed:
Yes. Sure.
Ruby:
Time is an emotional thing. That's what you're saying?
Ruby:
Yeah, yeah, sure. Don't bad things always seem to last longer than good ones? But good things seem to just fly by... like the best times in life.
Ruby:
Yeah...
Sam Deed:
Like what?
Ruby:
Like...
Sam Deed:
Like falling in love.
Ruby:
[Dreamy look in her eyes and tone in her voice] Yeah... [Suddenly she jerks]
Ruby:
Oh, my God! I'm late for work. I totally spaced.
Sam Deed:
See what I mean?
Ruby:
[Ruby looks at him with mixed emotions and not quite knowing what to say. She then narrates:] That was the morning we first met. [We see her sweetly wave goodbye to him]

Edith Sitwell - Quotes

 Eccentricity is not, as some would believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.

Temple Grandin - Quotes

 I believe that the best way to create good living conditions for any animal, whether it's a captive animal living in a zoo, a farm animal or a pet, is to base animal welfare programs on the core emotion systems in the brain. My theory is that the environment animals live in should activate their positive emotions as much as possible, and not activate their negative emotions any more than necessary. If we get the animal's emotions rights, we will have fewer problem behaviors... All animals and people have the same core emotion systems in the brain.

 The Architect:
There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the Source and the salvation of Zion. The door to your left leads back to the Matrix, to her... and to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you are going to do, don't we? Already I can see the chain reaction: the chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you to the simple and obvious truth: she is going to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Andrew Solomon - Quotes

 It is important not to suppress your feelings altogether when you are depressed. It is equally important to avoid terrible arguments or expressions of outrage. You should steer clear of emotionally damaging behavior. People forgive, but it is best not to stir things up to the point at which forgiveness is required. When you are depressed, you need the love of other people, and yet depression fosters actions that destroy that love. Depressed people often stick pins into their own life rafts. The conscious mind can intervene. One is not helpless.

Jonathan Safran Foer - Quotes

 I got tired, I told him. Not worn out, but worn through. Like one of those wives who wakes up one morning and says I can't bake any more bread.

You never bake bread, he wrote, and we were still joking.

Then it's like I woke up and baked bread, I said, and we were joking even then. I wondered will there come a time when we won't be joking? And what would it look like? And how would that feel?

When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calender that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from the chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table.

I spent my life learning to feel less.

Every day I felt less.

Is that growing old? Or is it something worse?

You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.

bell hooks - Quotes

 Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment...'dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love -- which is to transform us.' Many people want love to function like a drug, giving them an immediate and sustained high. They want to do nothing, just passively receive the good feeling.

Mitch Albom - Quotes

 If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely.
