~ Love withers with predictability; its very essence is surprise and amazement. To make love a prisoner of the mundane is to take its passion and lose it forever. ~ ~ As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion. ~ ~ Humans have long since possessed the tools for crafting a better world. Where love, compassion, altruism and justice have failed, genetic manipulation will not succeed. ~ ~ I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, human liberty as the source of national action, the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas ~ ~ Vices are often habits rather than passions. ~ ~ In charity to all mankind, bearing no malice or ill-will to any human being, and even compassionating those who hold in bondage their fellow-men, not knowing what they do. ~ ~ You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real. ~ ~ Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. ~ ~ Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth. ~ ~ To be exempt from the passions with which others are tormented, is the only pleasing solitude ~ ~ Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole. ~ ~ The cinema, like the detective story, makes it possible to experience without danger all the excitement, passion and desirousness which must be repressed in a humanitarian ordering of life. ~ ~ Lust of power is the most flagrant of all the passions ~ ~ Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses. ~ ~ Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy. ~ ~ Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. ~ ~ With out passion you dont have energy, with out energy you have nothing. ~ ~ Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism. ~ ~ It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters ~ ~ Weapons are the tools of violence;all decent men detest them.Weapons are the tools of fear;a decent man will avoid themexcept in the direst necessityand, if compelled, will use themonly with the utmost restraint.Peace is his highest value.If the peace has been shattered,how can he be content?His enemies are not demons,but human beings like himself.He doesn't wish them personal harm.Nor does he rejoice in victory.How could he rejoice in victoryand delight in the slaughter of men?He enters a battle gravely,with sorrow and with great compassion,as if he were attending a funeral ~ ~ Compassion is the use of public funds to buy votes ~ ~ My belief is that what comes across on the television is a capture of my enthusiasm and my passion for wildlife. ~ ~ I do not know what compassionate conservative means. Does it mean cutting kids out of after school programs, Does it mean drilling in the arctic wildlife refuge? Does it mean sending kids to Iraq without body armor that is state of the art? ~ ~ Wine gives courage and makes men more apt for passion. ~ ~ Wine to me is passion. It is family and friends. It is warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It is culture. It is the essence of civilization and the art of living. ~ ~ A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. ~ ~ Human it is to have compassion on the unhappy ~ ~ Revenge is the act of passion, vengeance is an act of justice. ~ ~ I hold that a writer who does not passionately
believe in the perfectibility of man has no
dedication nor any membership in literature. ~ ~ It's often difficult for us to act compassionately, but sacred art eases the difficulty by ennobling us. ~ |
