Passion and Love
In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love. (Lord Byron, 1788-1824, British poet)
A man in passion rides a horse that runs away with him. (Thomas Fuller, 1608-1661, British clergyman and author)
I want to feel passion, I want to feel pain. I want to weep at the sound of your name. Come make me laugh, come make me cry... just make me feel alive. (Joey Lauren Adams, American Actress, b.1968)
Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive performance? (William Shakespeare)
An intense feeling carries with it its own universe, magnificent or wretched, as the case may be. (Albert Camus, French writer)

Passion and Life’s Purpose
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless. (Honore de Balzac,1799-1850, French novelist)
What our age lacks is not reflection, but passion. (Soren Kierkegaard, 1813-1855, Danish philosopher and writer)
There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state? (Lord Byron, 1788-1824, British poet)
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life; the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. (Bertrand Russell, 1872-1970, British logician and philosopher)

Passion and Reason
Jupiter, not wanting man's life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason --you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions. (Desiderius Erasmus, 1466-1536, Dutch humanist and theologian)
He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason. (Marcus Tulius Cicero, 106-43 BC, writer, politician and roman orator)
Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions. (Georg C. Lichtenberg, 1742-1799, German scientist and satirist)
Intellectual passion drives out sensuality. ( Leonardo da Vinci, many-talented Renaissance humanist.)

How Passion Works
Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers but dress in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite. (George Eliot, 1819-1880, British writer)
Our passions are the true phoenixes; when the old one is burnt out, a new one rises from its ashes. (Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, 1749-1832, German writer)
In the human heart new passions are forever being born; the overthrow of one almost always means the rise of another. (François de La Rochefoucauld, 1613-1680, French writer)
Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring. (Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882, U.S. poet and essayist)
My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose. (Bette Davis, US actress, 1908-1989)
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved . . . the ones who never yawn and say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. (Jack Kerouac)
