Passion

Famous quotes containing the word passion:

    But boys and girls, pale from the imagined love
    Of solitary beds, knew what they were,
    That passion could bring character enough
    And pressed at midnighht in some public place
    Live lips upon a plummet-measured face.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    No matter what Aristotle and the Philosophers say, nothing is equal to tobacco; it’s the passion of the well-bred, and he who lives without tobacco lives a life not worth living.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
