It is part of the definition of feeling that it is born in us, without our will, often against our will. As soon as we want to feel (decide to feel just as Don Quixote decided to love Docinea), feeling is no longer feeling, but an imitation of feeling, a show of feeling. This is commonly called hysteria. That’s why homo sentimentalis (a person who has raised feeling to a value) is in reality identical to homo hystericus. -Milan Kundera Immortality
