People find a way in which they can say something.
That which we are capable of feeling, we are capable of saying.
If you love somebody, tell them.
Although we do come from a silent profession, it is important for us to verbalize what we want to say. (As I tell my students): you could love someone all your life, but if you never say it how are they going to know? There comes a point when you have to say what you mean, which makes you scream louder when you dance.
I vocalize a lot of my feelings.
Turning feelings into words can help us process and overcome adversity.
It is only by putting it into words that I make it whole. This wholeness means that it has lost its power to hurt me; it gives me, perhaps because by doing so I take away the pain, a great delight to put the severed parts together
I started writting songs when I was really little because there were things I could say through songs that I couldn't verbalize any other way. Writting was something I had to do.
Why is it so hard to articulate love yet so easy to express disappointment?
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
My tongue will tell the anger of my heart, or else my heart concealing it will break.
For all men live by truth, and stand in need of expression. In love, in art, in avarice, in politics, in labor, in games, we study to utter our painful secret. The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression.
Actually we did not have the feelings we said we had until we spoke them--at least I didn't; to phrase them was to invent them and own them.
