"If we were radically feelingless, and if ideas were only the things our minds
could entertain, we should lose all our likes and dislikes at a stroke, and be
unable to point to any one situation or experience in life more valuable or
significant than any other." -- William James, On a Certain Blindness in Human
Beings.
“It’s been necessary since before the time of Socrates to reject the passions,
the emotions, in order to free the rational mind for an understanding of
nature’s order which was as yet unknown. Now it’s time to further an
understanding of nature’s order by reassimilating those passions which were
originally fled from. The passions, the emotions, the affective domain of man’s
consciousness, are a part of nature’s order too. The central part.” — Robert
Pirsig, Zen and the Art
