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]

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.

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]

Bear Grylls  - Quotes

 "I remember collapsing to my knees and just crying and crying inside my mask as all those emotions from so long began to flow. Neil and myself, with our oxygen off, just hugged. It is an extraordinary place and you see the curvature of the earth at the edges and at 7.22am we watched as the dawn came up over all the land of Tibet 20,000 ft below." - On Climbing Everest.

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.

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 Good Night  - Quotes

 Mel:
Sometimes I wish that you could just hit the sack and never wake up. If your favorite song never ended, or your best book never closed, if the emotions mustered from these things would just go on and on, who wouldn't want to stay asleep? The guy who discovers that perpetual dream, he's my man.

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.

Haruki Murakami  - Quotes

 When I open them, most of the books have the smell of an earlier time leaking out between the pages - a special odor of the knowledge and emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers. Breathing it in, I glance through a few pages before returning each book to its shelf.

Nick Hornby  - Quotes

 That is another chamber of my heart that shows no electrical activity - the chamber that used to flicker into life when I saw a film that moved me, or read a book that inspired me, or listened to music that made me want to cry. I closed that chamber myself, for all the usual reasons. And now I seem to have made a pact with some philistine devil: if I don't attempt to re-open it, I will be allowed just enough energy and optimism to get through a working day without wanting to hang myself.
