"Feeling, in the broad sense of whatever is felt in any way, as sensory stimulus or inward tension, pain, emotion or intent, is the mark of mentality." -susanne langer
I also think that we should all listen to this song for nostalgic and soul replenishing purposes:
"All For You" by Sister Hazel
I have a question for everyone about the second quote:
ReplyDeleteWhat about nostalgia? I feel like it has a negative connotation. Usually when I recognize myself wanting to do something like listen to a song for the sake of nostalgia (as in to induce an old feeling) I then deprive myself of it because I feel I am trying to avoid the present. Also, doesn't nostalgia seem kind of self-destructive or masochistic?
HOWEVER
That is assuming that you are seeking the time more than the feeling.
The idea of nostalgia being soul-replenishing is very new and interesting to me.
