Quotations for emotion

Action is the right outlet of emotion. [ Ward Beecher ]

Only sentimentalists can repeat an emotion. [ Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grey ]

Religion is not a dogma nor an emotion, but a service. [ R. D. Hitchcock ]

Deep joy is a serene and sober emotion, rarely evinced in open merriment. [ Mme. Roland ]

The secret of remaining young is never to have an emotion that is unbecoming. [ Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grey ]

The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity. [ Burke ]

The object of art is to crystallize emotion into thought, and then to fix it in form. [ Francois Delsarte ]

Hatred itself may be a praiseworthy emotion if provoked in us by a lively love of good. [ Joubert ]

Tears are the symbol of the inability of the soul to restrain its emotion and retain its self-command. [ Amiel ]

Sympathy is the first condition of criticism; reason and justice presuppose, at their origin, emotion. [ Amiel ]

Never write anything that does not give you great pleasure; emotion is easily propagated from the writer to the reader. [ Joubert ]

It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. [ Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grey ]

Women live only in the emotion that love gives. An old lady confessed that she had loved much,when young: Ah! she exclaimed, the exquisite pain of those days! [ A. Houssaye ]

When the painter wishes to represent an event, he cannot place before us too great a number of personages; but he cannot employ too few when he wishes to portray an emotion. [ Joubert ]

Words are but poor interpreters in the realms of emotion. When all words end, music begins; when they suggest, it realises; and hence the secret of its strange, ineffable power. [ H. R. Haweis ]

Imagining is in itself the very height and life of poetry, which, by a kind of enthusiasm or extraordinary emotion of the soul, makes it seem to us that we behold those things which the poet paints. [ Dryden ]

Like everything else in nature, music is a becoming, and it becomes its full self when its sounds and laws are used by intelligent man for the production of harmony, and so made the vehicle of emotion and thought. [ Theodore T. Munger ]

By eloquence I understand those appeals to our moral perceptions that produce emotion as soon as they are uttered. This is the very enthusiasm that is the parent of poetry. Let the same man go to his closet and clothe in numbers conceptions full of the same fire and spirit, and they will be poetry. [ Bryant ]

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, Think again, bat man. [ Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts ]

With whatever respect and admiration a child may regard a father, whose example has called forth his energies, and animated him in his various pursuits, he turns with greater affection and intenser love to a kind-hearted mother; the same emotion follows him through life; and when the changing vicissitudes of after years have removed his parents from him, seldom does the remembrance of his mother occur to his mind, unaccompanied by the most affectionate recollections. Show me a man, though his brow be furrowed, and his hair grey, who has forgotten his mother, and I shall suspect that something is going on wrong within him; either his memory is impaired, or a hard heart is beating in his bosom. [ Mogridge ]
