Famous quotes containing the word feeling:

    “The difference between a photograph and even the most realistic painting—say, one of Courbet’s landscapes—is that in the latter there has been selection, emphasis and some discreet distortion. The painter’s deep instinctive feeling for mass and force has rearranged everything.”
    —Gerald Branan (1894–1987)

    “I’ve had this feeling ever since I graduated. This kind of compulsion that I have to be rude all the time.”
    —Calder Willingham (1923–1995)

    “No wonder that all of us feel at home with mediocrity since it leaves us in peace; it gives us the comforting feeling as if one were in the company of one’s equals.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
