Emotional State

Famous quotes containing the words emotional state, emotional and/or state:

    Compared to other parents, remarried parents seem more desirous of their child’s approval, more alert to the child’s emotional state, and more sensitive in their parent-child relations. Perhaps this is the result of heightened empathy for the child’s suffering, perhaps it is a guilt reaction; in either case, it gives the child a potent weapon—the power to disrupt the new household and come between parent and the new spouse.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much. In public affairs, in the rebuilding of civilization, something less dramatic and emotional is needed, namely tolerance.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Courts of law, and all the paraphernalia and folly of law ... cannot be found in a rational state of society.
    Robert Owen (1771–1858)
