Passion Fruit

Famous quotes containing the words passion and/or fruit:

“And she, by passion once demented
MThat woman out of Botticelli—
She brews and bottles, unfermented,
The stupid and abiding jelly.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

“Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
