Mostly in life people are trying not to have emotions.

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.

Emotion is often what we rely upon to carry us across the unfathomable voids in our intelligence.

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.

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.

The most pivotal moments in people's lives revolve around emotions. Emotions make stories powerful.

Rather than being a luxury, emotions are a very intelligent way of driving an organism toward certain outcomes.

At this very moment in time there will be people making, breaking relationships, regretting deeply what they've done, and causing hurt, but that is a fact of life, and if we weren't full of emotion, we'd be automatons, and I don't think people want us to be that.

I have lived too completely, I think. I have known every human emotion.

Emotion creates reality, reality demands action.
