“Hatred comes from the heart; contempt from the head; and neither feeling is quite within our control.Arthur Schopenhauer
“Our heart is a treasury; if you spend all its wealth at once you are ruined. We find it as difficult to forgive a person for displaying his feeling in all its nakedness as we do to forgive a man for being penniless.Honoré de Balzac
“For to bear all naked truths, And to envisage circumstance, all calm, That is the top of sovereignty. John Keats
“Poetry presents the thing in order to convey the feeling. It should be precise about the thing and reticent about the feeling, for as soon as the mind responds and connects with the thing the feeling shows in the words; this is how poetry enters deeply into us.Wei T’ai
