Feelings are the language of the heart — how we listen to our lives. As Fiona Apple reminds us, “When you feel things deeply and you think about how you feel, you learn a lot about yourself.”

Better to be without logic than without feeling. ~ Charlotte Brontë

Feelings, too, are facts. Emotion is a fact. Human experience is a fact. It is often possible to gain more real insight into human beings and their motivation by reading great fiction than by personal acquaintance. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions. ~ David Borenstein

I don’t wanna think, I wanna FEEL. ~ Eddie Vedder

Unconditional acceptance of feeling then allows the person maximum learning, evolvement, and attunement. ~ Ceanne DeRohan

Don’t be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it’s just death. ~ Lena Horne

By going along with feelings, you unify your emotional, mental and bodily states. When you try to fight or deny them, you divorce yourself from the reality of your being. ~ Jane Roberts

You should be aware of the seeds of feeling in your heart and take care of them. And try to express the feeling sincerely and honestly. ~ Iizuka Shokansai

I would rather feel things in extreme than not at all. ~ Bonnie Raitt

“It cuts like a knife, but it feels so right…” ~ Bryan Adams

It is necessary for the heart to feel as for the body to be fed. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte

It isn’t intellect that connects us to other people; it is feeling. ~ Charles Fowler

To be told we are loved is not enough. We must feel loved. ~ Marcia Jacober

The feeling must come first. If you actually feel rich, if you have a deep inner conviction that you will always have all that you need, it will be so. ~ Donald Curtis

A gold feathered bird sings in the palm, without human meaning, without human feeling, a foreign song. ~ Wallace Stevens

Do continue to believe that with your feeling and your work you are taking part in the greatest; the more strongly you cultivate in yourself this belief, the more will reality and the world go forward from it. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
