Famous quotes containing the words passion and/or play:

    ““... So it’s plain to be discerned
    That the shades of holy men
    Who have failed, being weak of will,
    Pass the Door of Birth again,
    And are plagued by crowds, until
    They’ve passion to escape.””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Mind in its purest play is like some bat
    That beats about in caverns all alone,
    Contriving by a kind of senseless wit
    Not to conclude against a wall of stone.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
