Passion Quotes
Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
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.
Robert Mondavi
Another powerful principle of our nature, which is the spring of war, is the passion for superiority, for triumph, for power. The human mind is aspiring, impatient of inferiority, and eager for preeminence and control.
William Ellery Channing
Passion requires focused direction, and that direction must come from three other areas: your purpose, your talents, and your needs.
Steve Pavlina
The activity will prove to be "peculiar" by leading the active person into Christ's own passion. This activity itself is perpetual suffering and enduring. In it, Christ is suffered by his disciple. If this is not the case, it is not the activity Jesus intended. In this way, the "extraordinary" is the fulfilling of the law, the keeping of the commandments.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In spring time, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head.
Emma Racine deFleur
Shall Earth no more inspire thee, Thou lonely dreamer now? Since passion may not fire thee Shall Nature cease to bow? Thy mind is ever moving In regions dark to thee; Recall its useless roving Come back and dwell with me
Emily Jane Bront
Forgetfulness, the unhistorical, is the atmosphere, in which alone life can come into being. In order to understand it, let us imagine a youth who is seized with a passion for a woman, or a man who is swayed by a passion for his work. In both cases what lies behind them has ceased to exist and yet this state (the most unhistorical that can be imagined) is that in which every action, every great deed is conceived and accomplished.
Georg Morris Cohen Brandes
It is vain to try to sacrifice once for all one's youthful ideals. When a man has loved literature as I loved it at twenty, he cannot be satisfied at twenty-six to give up his early passion, even at the bidding of implacable necessity.
Paul Charles Joseph Bourget
Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.
Oprah Winfrey
I have a passion for the name of "Mary," For once it was a magic sound to me, And still it half calls up the realms of fairy, Where I beheld what never was to be.
Lord Byron
The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
Elizabeth Hardwick
Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.
Joseph Addison
The lust for power, for dominating others, inflames the heart more than any other passion.
Publius Cornelius Tacitus
