The most important things
in the world cannot be seen
or even touched. They must
be felt with the heart.

It's often enough just to be with someone. I don't have
to touch them. Not even talk.
A feeling passes between you. You are not alone.

One can be the master
of what one does but never of what one feels.

Gustave Flaubert (1821 – 1880) was an influential French writer widely considered one of the greatest novelists in Western literature. He is known for his scrupulous devotion to style and aesthetics.

Feelings are like waves. We can't stop them from coming, but we can choose the ones we surf.

Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?

That was one of the saddest things about people -- their most important thoughts and feelings often went unspoken and barely understood.

I usually know exactly
how I feel. The problem is
I can't tell anyone.

You've learned to run from what you feel, and that's
why you have nightmares.
To deny is to invite madness. To accept is to control.

We try hard to hide everything we're really
feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most.

... People try to bottle up their emotions, as if it's somehow wrong to have natural reactions to life. ―Colleen Hoover, NY Times best-selling author of Young Adult fiction

It's a grave injustice to a child to insist he stop crying.
To humiliate a crying child
is to increase his pain and
augment his rigidity.

Alexander Lowen earned four college degrees: Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Law, Doctor of Sciences of Law, and a medical Degree. The founder of the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis, he has written more than 14 books.

“It is a grave injustice to a child or adult to insist that they stop crying. One can comfort a person who is crying which enables him to relax and makes further crying unnecessary; but to humiliate a crying child is to increase his pain, and augment his rigidity. ...

We stop other people from crying because it threatens our own rigidity .

... We stop other people from crying because we cannot stand the sounds and movements of their bodies. It threatens our own rigidity. It induces similar feelings in ourselves which we dare not express and it evokes a resonance in our own bodies which we resist.”

To hide feelings
when you're near crying
is the secret of dignity.

Don't allow your mind
to tell your heart
what to do.

Never apologize for
showing feeling, my friend.
Remember when you do so,
you apologize for truth.

Friends may lose touch
but never lose feelings.

Author Jarod Kintz (1982 -) writes: "I encourage everybody to write. Share yourself with the world. If there is one thing I like to impress upon people, it’s that you can do it, even if you can’t. Just keep can’ting until eventually you can. And you can quote me on that."

Feelings do not grow old along with the body.
They are part of a world where there's no time,
no space, no frontier.

Paul Coelho.
