Entry 267

Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.

Joss Whedon

Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance and you find out you still care for that person.
Alexandre Dumas

There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini

Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.
Anthony J. D'Angelo


It is easy to fly into a passion---anybody can do that---but to be angry with the right person to the right extent and at the right time with the right object and in the right way---that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it.
Aristotle
