Passions Live

Famous quotes containing the words passions and/or live:

    There is in most passions a shrinking away from ourselves. The passionate pursuer has all the earmarks of a fugitive.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it’s because she doesn’t quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man’s picture of woman to live up to.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
