“I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.”
Princess Diana
“The biggest disease this day and age is that of people feeling unloved.”
Princess Diana
“I want to walk into a room, be it a hospital for the dying or a hospital for the sick children, and feel that I am needed. I want to do, not just to be.”
Princess Diana
“I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance.”
Richard Dawkins
“My personal feeling is that understanding evolution led me to atheism.”
Richard Dawkins
“The universe doesn't owe us condolence or consolation; it doesn't owe us a nice warm feeling inside.”
Richard Dawkins
“I don't feel depressed. I feel elated.”
Richard Dawkins
“Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else's expense. And I find that that's just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else's feelings.”
Ellen DeGeneres
“I don't pay attention to the number of birthdays. It's weird when I say I'm 53. It just is crazy that I'm 53. I think I'm very immature. I feel like a kid. That's why my back goes out all the time, because I completely forget I can't do certain things anymore - like doing the plank for 10 minutes.”
Ellen DeGeneres
“I just feel like every kid is growing up too fast and they're seeing too much. Everything is about sex, and that's fine for me. I'm not saying I don't like it. But I don't think it should be everywhere, where kids are exposed to everything sexual. Because they have to have some innocence; there's just no innocence left.”
Ellen DeGeneres
“I've made an odd discovery. Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I'm convinced of the opposite.”
Bertrand Russell
“Why is propaganda so much more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir up friendly feeling?”
Bertrand Russell
“Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom.”
Bertrand Russell
“If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.”
Bill Cosby
“I can do everything with ease on the stage, whereas in real life I feel too big and clumsy. So I didn't choose acting. It chose me.”
Ingrid Bergman
“In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.”
Simone de Beauvoir
“The most mediocre of males feels himself a demigod as compared with women.”
Simone de Beauvoir
“Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I'm referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.”
David Bowie
“I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.”
David Bowie
“I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me.”
David Bowie
“I'm very at ease, and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy; I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been, and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am, because I'm actually like my dad!”
David Bowie
“What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.”
David Bowie
“Believe that with your feelings and your work you are taking part in the greatest; the more strongly you cultivate this belief, the more will reality and the world go forth from it.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
“I'm not just a boy toy. I have feelings and dreams like anybody else.”
Jon Stewart
“I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.”
Steven Spielberg
“I get that same queasy, nervous, thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That's never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad's 8-millimeter movie camera.”
Steven Spielberg
“The brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous.”
Carl Sagan
“The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him to ask for.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
“We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
“You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.”
Ayrton Senna
