The feeling is often the deeper truth, the opinion the more superficial one. – Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers
By starving emotions we become humorless, rigid and stereotyped; by repressing them we become literal, reformatory and holier-than-thou; encouraged, they perfume life; discouraged, they poison it. – Joseph Collins
Id rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.Id rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far;for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are. – Milton Berle
