Jennifer Donnelly Quotes About Feelings

Quotes about: Feelings

• What I saw next stopped me dead in my tracks. Books. Not just one or two dozen, but hundreds of them. In crates. In piles on the floor. In bookcases that stretched from floor to ceiling and lined the entire room. I turned around and around in a slow circle, feeling as if I'd just stumbled into Ali Baba's cave. I was breathless, close to tears, and positively dizzy with greed.

• The feeling that you get.... when you know something is happening that will change you, and you don't want it to, but you can't stop it.

• ...Listen to your own thoughts and feelings very carefully, be aware of your observations, and learn to value them.

It's yours and only yours, it's unique and worth of your attention, and if you cultivate it properly, it might just make you a writer.

• Words fail me sometimes. I have read most every word in the Webster’s International Dictionary of the English Language, but I still have trouble making them come when I want them to. Right now I want a word that describes the feeling you get – a cold sick feeling deep down inside – when you know something is happening that will change you, and you don’t want it to, but you can’t stop it. And you know you will never be the same again.
