I love the line of Flaubert about observing things very intensely. I think our duty as writers begins not with our own feelings, but with the powers of observing.

My gut feelings and my faith tell me that until God shuts a door, no human can shut it.

We are slow to believe that which if believed would hurt our feelings.

It's important not to indicate. People don't try to show their feelings, they try to hide them.

I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.

I have mixed feelings about those sorts of things. When I see it done by interesting young people, I think it's very valid. But when established photographers, people in their forties, copy me and get a lot of money, well, I find that to be very stupid.

I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.

Get up from that piano. You hurtin' its feelings.

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

It is important to express oneself... provided the feelings are real and are taken from your own experience.

My feelings, as the last ball travelled over the net, and as I realized that the final match was mine, I cannot describe. I felt that here was a prize for all the games I had ever played.

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

We can't be intimate because we can't share feelings that we don't have.

A spiritual person is also in touch with his or her own reality, feelings and thoughts, and the reality of the people around him or her, not projecting on them.
