Feelings Quotes

you mean machines are like humans?I shook my head. No, not like humans. With machines the feeling is, well, more finite. It doesn't go any further. With humans it's different.

And the thing is, you can't do anything about it, you can't control it. With my Subaru, it's not so complicated.

This perceived need may stem from our family of origin, from how we learned to be heard when a simple “no” wasn’t enough. We may have learned to mask certain feelings, or portray feelings that weren’t ours. But as adults we each need to learn to state our personal truth without having to prove it or shout it.
