Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being to which we rarely penetrate for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.

A poem might be defined as thinking about feelings - about human feelings and frailties.

Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own.

All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.

I said it was my feeling that the American people would struggle for peace and that has since been underscored by the President of these United States.

I'm not one to sit and wallow - I would rather figure out a way around so I can move past it and be at peace with things. I don't like bad feelings gnawing away at me.

There is no greater feeling than hanging out with my dogs or just walking around the land with our horses. My rescue ranch is is where I feel the most at peace and where I'm reminded of the simple things in life and let the chaos of my crazy work life fade away.

Every goal every action every thought every feeling one experiences whether it be consciously or unconsciously known is an attempt to increase one's level of peace of mind.

There's intense national feeling in America that could be called patriotism.

Patriotism is strong nationalistic feeling for a country whose borders and whose legitimacy and whose ethnic composition is taken for granted.

What feeling is so nice as a child's hand in yours? So small so soft and warm like a kitten huddling in the shelter of your clasp.

I don't think children's inner feelings have changed. They still want a mother and father in the very same house they want places to play.

Some people just use beautiful things to just shop or to have a tribal feeling - 'Oh blah blah blah I'm wearing Hermes blah blah blah I'm wearing Saint Laurent blah-blah blah' - because it's like a need a tribe recognition: 'Ahh my Rolex.' But I run away from anything which is too recognizable - it's my nature.

The structure of life I have described in buildings - the structure which I believe to be objective - is deeply and inextricably connected with the human person and with the innermost nature of human feeling.

Every corny thing that's said about living with nature - being in harmony with the earth feeling the cycle of the seasons - happens to be true.
