To err is human, but it feels divine. Mae West
It is more comfortable to feel that we are a slight improvement on a monkey than such a fallin’ off from the angels. Finley Peter Dunne
Sometimes I think it is a great mistake to have matter that can think and feel. It complains so. By the same token, though, I suppose that boulders and mountains and moons could be accused of being a little too phlegmatic. Kurt Vonnegut
We think too little and feel too much. Charlie Chaplin
Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature. Susanne Langer, Mind, 1967
Art is a method of opening up areas of feeling rather than merely an illustration of an object. A picture should be a recreation of an event rather than an illustration of an object. But there is no tension in the pictures unless there is a struggle with the object. Francis Bacon, cited The Art of Francis Bacon
Painting is but another word for feeling. John Constable

A feeling heart is a blessing that no one, who has it, would be without; and it is a moral security of innocence; since the heart that is able to partake of the distress of another, cannot wilfully give it. Samuel Richardson, History of Sir Charles Grandison, 1754
No-one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt
All violent feelings ... produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the Pathetic Fallacy. John Ruskin, Modern Painters, 1856
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is. Jim Morrison
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set, and you’re working out, you’re going to feel good. Jason Statham
There’s no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap. Kevin James
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace. George Bernard Shaw
You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood. Ayrton Senna

A feeling is not bottomless: once felt all the way through, a great peace greets you there. Alanis Morissette

In this place you could not feel anything, except pain and foreknowledge of pain. George Orwell, 1984
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller
I recall certain moments, let us call them icebergs in paradise, when after having had my fill of her – after fabulous, insane exertions that left me limp and azure-barred – I would gather her in my arms with, at last, a mute moan of human tenderness (her skin glistening in the neon light coming from the paved court through the slits in the blind, her soot-black lashes matted, her grave gray eyes more vacant than ever – for all the world a little patient still in the confusion of a drug after a major operation) – and the tenderness would deepen to shame and despair, and I would lull and rock my lone light Lolita in my marble arms, and moan in her warm hair, and caress her at random and mutely ask her blessing, and at the peak of this human agonized selfless tenderness (with my soul actually hanging around her naked body and ready to repent), all at once, ironically, horribly, lust would swell again – and ‘oh, no’, Lolita would say with a sigh to heaven, and the next moment the tenderness and the azure – all would be shattered. Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller
