We welcome passion, for the mind is briefly let off duty.
Mignon McLaughlin
It is with our passions as it is with fire and water; they are good servants, but bad masters.
Roger L'Estrange
Passion and prejudice govern the world, only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.
Amiel
Every civilization is, among other things, an arrangement for domesticating the passions and setting them to do useful work.
Aldous Huxley
It is a revenge the devil sometimes takes upon the virtuous, that he entraps them by the force of the very passion they have suppressed and think themselves superior to.
George Santayana
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
Honoré de Balzac
