“The cold rationalism simply covers for raw, wounded emotion. The more driven people are by the mind, the more they feel and further encode their feelings. The thickness of the tarpaulin cover is as the size of the emotion.”
“Our emotional mind will harness the rational mind to its purposes, for our feelings and reactions-- rationalizations-- justifying them in terms of the present moment, without realizing the influence of our emotional memory.”
“Having begun to feel, people’s desire to feel grew. They wanted to feel more, feel deeper, despite how it sometimes hurt. People became addicted to feeling. They struggled to uncover new emotions.”
“Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions.”
“Emotions are like a virus, a common cold, disrupting the flow of logic in people's minds.”
“In books there’s nothing of the fish covered in the coldness of the sea, or the feeling of a star touching space. Bad for business.”
