Famous quotes containing the words part and/or passion:
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.”
—Fawn M. Brodie (1915–1981)
