I think that unless you can take judgments of right and wrong like an automaton, you must have emotions because that is our only way of moral guidance.

We all have human emotions that rob our lives.

We have emotions for a reason; for instance, imagine pain. You have pain so that if you touch something that's hot, or if you slam your hand with a hammer, you will pull your hand away and not do that again.

We cannot control what emotions or circumstances we will experience next, but we can choose how we will respond to them.

Some people love so hard that they can't control those emotions when they're at their deepest point.

Emotions are the key to many aspects of life. They are precisely the elements that make human beings human. I think the fact that emotions have been reduced and put off to the side in intellectual work, particularly in the 20th Century, is tragic.

You don't have to work hard to bring emotions. It all just comes naturally, you're there living it.

There's been a boiling down of real emotion into a set pattern instead of individualism.

Painful emotions show you what prevents you from creating harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for life.
