Emotions

Famous quotes containing the word emotions:

“It is the emotions to which one objects in Germany most of all.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“You can’t, in sound morals, condemn a man for taking care of his own integrity. It is his clear duty. And least of all can you condemn an artist pursuing, however humbly and imperfectly, a creative aim. In that interior world where his thought and his emotions go seeking for the experience of imagined adventures, there are no policemen, no law, no pressure of circumstance or dread of opinion to keep him within bounds. Who then is going to say Nay to his temptations if not his conscience?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

“Each man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
