May 15, 2006

"Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions."

Just wondering.

But really...it's the "generic" man.

Amishav: Some guy I never heard of. Can't remember. Google it with quotes around it :)

I started posting daily quotes in my class and having students respond in order to get their brains thinking for themselves as opposed to always waiting for a teacher to tell them they are right or wrong. Although this is not the quote they analyzed today; I found this in my quest and it was quite apropro for me in that moment. So I shared :)

I can live with that.

True feelings surprise us all the time but logical feelings are so much more fun!
