“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility”
William Wordsworth
“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
Jim Morrison
“Sorrow is tranquility remembered in emotion.”
Dorothy Parker
“All sorrows are destroyed upon attainment of tranquillity. The intellect of such a tranquil person soon becomes completely steady.”
Bhagavad Gita
“I never felt so fervently thankful, so soothed, so tranquil, so filled with the blessed peace, as I did yesterday when I learned that Michael Angelo was dead.”
Mark Twain
“I have heard with admiring submission the experience of the lady who declared that the sense of being perfectly well-dressed gives a feeling of inward tranquility which religion is powerless to bestow”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“You get addicted to the way it makes you feel. It's almost tranquil and relaxing.”
Angie Johnson
