“There is in most passions a shrinking away from ourselves. The passionate pursuer has all the earmarks of a fugitive.”
Eric Hoffer
“Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.”
Lao Tzu
“Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God idea, not God Himself”
Miguel de Unamuno
“Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”
Julia Child
“I’d rather be hated for who I am…than loved for someone I’m not…I’m definitely not perfect…but work with what I’ve got…I can be stubborn…and maybe a little too bold…when life gets rough…I don’t give up instead I take hold…I’m passionate about life…and love to dream…yep I’m exactly…who I want to be…my heart is open wide…with plenty of room to grow…you can take me as I am…or watch me as I go…”
Tonia Byers
“'Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.”
Bertrand Russel
“Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.”
Buddha
