Passion can never purchase what true love desires: true intimacy, self-giving, and commitment
Back o'er the deep I turn my longing eyes,
And chide the wayward passions that rebel:
Yet boots it not to think, or to complain,
Musing sad ditties to the reckless main.
To dreams like these, adieu! the pealing bell
Speaks of the hour that stays notand the day
To life's sad turmoil calls my heart away.

Men don't like to step abruptly out of the security of familiar experience; they need a bridge to cross from their own experience to a new way.

In both places the universities gave way under the pressure of mass movements, and did so in large measure because they thought those movements possessed a moral truth superior to any the university could provide. Commitment was understood to be profounder than science, passion than reason, history than nature, the young than the old.

Quotes with Keyword Passion Passion
If you have passion for trees, run and hug them. You have passion for music, join in the song. You have a passion for writing, pen it down. You have a passion for life itself, happily live along. The pressures of modern times, clocks ticking past; where is there room to house our passions? We are all but puppets tuned to a programme and conditioned to fill up roles already created for us. Every day passes by and we rush to reach the targets they set for us. We eat, we drink, we shop, our passions fast asleep within our all so busy selves. Look within yourself, what is it that gives you the uttermost joy, the release of all locked energies, you have long left behind?! Do not ignore the things you are passionate about. Create for such things a vent, a way of much needed expression. |
