“Emotions come and go and can't be controlled so there's no reason to worry about them. That in the end, people should be judged by their actions since in the end it was actions that defined everyone.”

Nicholas Sparks,
The Last Song “Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.”

Stepping into Freedom: Rules of Monastic Practice for Novices “But feelings can't be ignored, no matter how unjust or ungrateful they seem.”

Anne Frank,
The Diary of a Young Girl “It is important not to suppress your feelings altogether when you are depressed. It is equally important to avoid terrible arguments or expressions of outrage. You should steer clear of emotionally damaging behavior. People forgive, but it is best not to stir things up to the point at which forgiveness is required. When you are depressed, you need the love of other people, and yet depression fosters actions that destroy that love. Depressed people often stick pins into their own life rafts. The conscious mind can intervene. One is not helpless.”
