“David tells me that fairies never say 'We feel happy': what they say is, 'We feel dancey'.”
“We ought to say a feeling of and, a feeling of if, a feeling of but, and a feeling of by, quite as readily as we say a feeling of blue or a feeling of cold.”
“Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.”
“If we wish to be happy, monsieur, we must never comprehend duty; for, as soon as we comprehend it, it is implacable. One would say that it punishes you for comprehending it; but no, it rewards you for it; for it puts you into a hell where you feel God at your side.”
“It is not about doing what we feel like. It is about doing what God says.”
