Bram Stoker on emotion

Listen to them — the children of the night. What music they make.

No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.

Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.

I am very conscious of the fact that our feelings and strivings are often contradictory and obscure and that they cannot be expressed in easy and simple formulas.

Albert Einstein1879–1955Why Socialism? (1949)

Never apologize for showing feeling, my friend. Remember that when you do so, you apologize for truth.

Benjamin Disraeli1804–1881Contarini Fleming (1832), Part 1, Chapter 13
