“Below the surface stream, shallow and light,The central stream of what we feel indeed.”

“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.

“Sentiment, by the by, is one of those ill-used words which, from being often misemployed, require a definition when properly applied. Sentiment is the poetry of feeling. Feeling weeps over the grave of the beloved — sentiment weeps, and plants the early flower and the green tree, to weep too.”

“Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. Stretch out with your feelings!”

“"Trust your feelings!"—But feelings are nothing final or original; behind the feelings there stand judgments and evaluations. ... The inspiration born of feeling is the grandchild of a judgment—and often a false judgment! And in any event not a child of your own! To trust one’s feelings means to give more obedience to one’s grandfather and grandmother and their grandparents than to the gods which are in us: our reason and our experience.”

“For there are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion,Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.”

“Your thoughts, feelings and mental pictures can be called incipient exterior events, for in one way or another, of these is materialized into physical reality.”

“Sensations sweet,Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart.”
