Nobel Prize winners on emotions (from Newfield-more here):
Shirin Ebadi (Nobel Peace Prize, 2003)“It is very difficult to think that a change in Iran can be produced because people are scared and prefer to maintain, when they must risk their lives and those of their family. The fear is much greater than anybody can imagine. Any person who wants to fight for human rights in Iran must live with fear in their body from the time they are born until the time they die. But I already have learned to surpass it."
Jorge Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, 1899-1986)“It is not possible to contemplate without passion. He who contemplates dispassionately does not contemplate.”
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)“The basis of optimism is sheer terror."
Plato (Greek dude) "All learning has an emotional base."
