Feelings And Perceptions Quotes

“The tangible and factual components of reality along with the intangible strands of memory and imagination constitute the framework that houses our vital life force. A person is likewise composed of contradictory and complementary forces of pain and pleasure, darkness and lightness, and clashing and harmonizing bands of thoughts and feelings. The web and root of all persons consists of both the expressible and the unsayable. Who has not held imaginary conversations with gods, devils, and spirits? Persons whom enthusiastically cultivate an inner life, ardently experience the quick of nature, and willingly immerse themselves in all aspects of everyday living will experience renewal. Analogous to the heat source of fire, we need the spark of desire to fuel our hearts and the spirit of the breeze to spread our heart songs.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Human life is inherently dualistic. It consists of or is explicable as two fundamental entities, including rivalries between subject and object, mind and matter, and conflict between the benevolent and the malevolent forces. Opposition in the universe creates a dynamic living universe composed of good and evil, body and soul. Human thoughts and feelings are the communal products of the conscious and unconscious mind’s interpretation of a constant flow of coded and symbolic dialogue.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“All overt and covert emotions would shrivel without the beam of contrast and comparison to supply context and implication. We need the value of counterpoise to recognize and distinguish between similar and dissimilar concepts. How do we identify the importance of hope if we never felt despair? How do we appreciate the value of society and companionship until we experience solitude and loneliness? What would any relationship be unless draped with the boughs of thoughts and feelings, without the ongoing interaction between conscientious action and unreserved devotion, without endless empathy fused with boundless love? In the ring of time, without the verve supplied by both the real and the imaginary, life would be bland, insipid, and lackluster.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“A world I will never feel comfortable in, never understand, and never approve of or forgive.”
― Woody Allen, Apropos of Nothing

“You see, sometimes, dear reader, things can feel out of hand,
like you're spinning around in a wild, swirling band.
When you lose control, your worries start to grow,
imagining the worst about all the things you don't know.”
― Lyra Brave, Luna Heartstrong & the Whimsical Wormhole

“Remember, you're strong and brave,
and anxiety is just a passing wave.
With love and support, it will soon subside,
and you'll have calmness by your side.”
― Lyra Brave, Luna Heartstrong & the Whimsical Wormhole

“So many feelings between people were encoded in gesture and silence, because words fell short.”
― Mary Costello, Academy Street
