1 " It's delicious to have people adore you, but it's exhausting, too. Particularly when your own feelings don't match theirs. "
― Tasha Alexander , A Fatal Waltz (Lady Emily, #3)
2 " This, then, is the ultimate, that is only, consolation: simply that someone shares some of your own feelings and has made of these a work of art which you have the insight, sensitivity, and — like it or not — peculiar set of experiences to appreciate. Amazing thing to say, the consolation of horror in art is that it actually intensifies our panic, loudens it on the sounding-board of our horror-hollowed hearts, turns terror up full blast, all the while reaching for that perfect and deafening amplitude at which we may dance to the bizarre music of our own misery. "
― Thomas Ligotti , The Nightmare Factory
3 " To be sure, there's a warm passion behind what you say. But if you give in to that passion, friends, you're doing what I always warned you agin: you're a placing the satisfaction of your own feelings above the work you have to do... Don't you worry that John Faa's heart is too soft to strike a blow when the time comes. And the time will come under judgement. Not under passion. "
― Philip Pullman
4 " ...you want things to remain the same, which they never can, and so you’re wounded by your own feelings & resentful others don’t seem to care... "
― , A Familiar Rain
5 " I'd come to see that home wasn't just about the place where you lived or the memories within the walls. It was the love you saw reflected in the eyes of the people around you, and the strength of your own feelings that made a place home. "
― R.E. Butler , A Flash of Fang (Wiccan-Were-Bear, #2)
