Passions Site

Famous quotes containing the words passions and/or site:

“The passions are the only orators that are always successful in persuading. They are a kind of art in nature, that proceeds upon infallible rules; and the plainest man, with the help of passion, shall prevail more than the most eloquent man without it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
