“[Sharmayne Williams:]...puoi avere tutte le emozioni possibili, ma non devi permettere che siano loro a manovrarti.”

“Los pensamientos obsesivos son la leña que alimenta el fuego de la ira, un fuego que sólo podrá extinguirse contemplando las cosas desde un punto de vista diferente”

“In a very real sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels”

“Feelings are self-justifying, with a set of perceptions and "proofs" all their own.”

“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.”

“When we are in the grip of craving or fury, head-over-heals in love our recoiling in dread, it is the limbic system that has us in its grip.”

“Fear, in evolution, has a special prominence: perhaps more than any other emotion it is crucial for survival.”
