All art is about appealing to emotion.

The writer's joy is the thought that can become emotion, the emotion that can wholly become a thought.

Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.

When the impulses which stir us to profound emotion are integrated with the medium of expression, every interview of the soul may become art. This is contingent upon mastery of the medium.

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

My opinion is that a poet should express the emotion of all the ages and the thought of his own.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

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.

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.
