Events Quotes
-
Leaving out appraisal also would render the biological description of the phenomena of emotion vulnerable to the caricature that emotions without an appraisal phase are meaningless events.

Yet think-tankers and policy wonks continue to opine, never pausing to reflect on-or apologize for-their spotty records.

But there's so much in the book, stuff we've passed in the timeline that I really thought was awesome, that I really wanted to get to.
Scott M. Gimple
