Chip Conley Quotes

In this world, man has two significant possessions: intelligence and emotion. These two possessions govern our day-to-day life. But very often we see that emotion (ego) gets the upper hand in our life. We know that even if someone is extremely intelligent, when his emotion comes to the fore it will devour him. He is compelled to do what his emotion asks him to do.

Part of growing up is learning to live with your emotions; today’s shortcut is to believe whatever your feelings are, they’re justified.

Angry or not. It's a human emotion. But you can't walk around being angry all the time. What a dull person you'd have to be!

We're not whole people if we're just one emotion. On any given day, you can be happy, sad, angry, and so on... As you mature, you just learn to deal with each one of those emotions.

I think that idea that sort of our emotional self and our emotional life is a faucet that you turn on and off, and that we are in control of it entirely, that's a really appealing idea for a lot of people.

I am an emotional person, but I am not embarrassed by that.

For my part, I think we need more emotion, not less. But I think, too, that we need to educate people in how to feel. Emotionalism is not the same as emotion.

We are not robots...but we act as though all our problems would be solved if only we had no emotions to cloud our judgement.
