Passionate Quotes (page 30)

Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you've got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it. Maya Angelou
But man, because he has only one life to live, cannot conduct experiments to test whether to follow his passion (compassion) or not. Milan Kundera
Enjoying and displaying are both crucial. The wasted life is the life without a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples. John Piper
I have discovered, passionate grief does not link us with the dead but cuts us off from them. This becomes clearer and clearer. It is just at those moments when I feel least sorrow - getting into my morning bath is usually one of them - that H. rushes upon my mind in her full reality, her otherness. Not, as in my worst moments, all foreshortened and patheticized and solemnized by my miseries, but as she is in her own right. This is good and tonic. C. S. Lewis
Soren Kierkegaard quote: "It is impossible to exist without passion"
It is impossible to exist without passion Soren Kierkegaard
A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness. Mahatma Gandhi
Human passions unbridled by morality and religion...would break the stronges cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. John Adams
Thomas Merton quote: "The light of truth burns without a flicker in the depths of a..."
The light of truth burns without a flicker in the depths of a house that is shaken with storms of passion and fear. Thomas Merton
Jane Austen quote: "It is not everyone,' said Elinor, 'who has your passion for..."
It is not everyone,' said Elinor, 'who has your passion for dead leaves. Jane Austen
You fear the world too much,' she answered gently. 'All your other hopes have merged into the hope of being beyond the chance of its sordid reproach. I have seen your nobler aspirations fall off, one by one, until the master passion, Gain, engrosses you. Have I not? Charles Dickens
Grown-ups desperately need to feel safe, and then they project onto the kids. But what none of us seem to realize is how smart kids are. They don’t like what we write for them, what we dish up for them, because it’s vapid, so they’ll go for the hard words, they’ll go for the hard concepts, they’ll go for the stuff where they can learn something. Not didactic things, but passionate things. Maurice Sendak
Edna St. Vincent Millay quote: "I do not think there is a woman in whom the roots of passion..."
I do not think there is a woman in whom the roots of passion shoot deeper than in me. Edna St. Vincent Millay
Pat Conroy quote: "He was ruled by the tyranny of instinct, by passion and the..."
He was ruled by the tyranny of instinct, by passion and the instant legislation of a simple heart. Pat Conroy
The world is ruled by such dreams, dreams of impassioned hearts, and improvisations of warm lips, not by cold words linked in chains of iron sequence, --- not by logic. The heart with its passions, not the understanding with its reasoning, sways, in the long run, the actions of mankind. William Kirby
The Church makes no man less free than he was before. But we chiefly value freedom in order to give it away; every man who loves surrenders his freedom, whether his passion be the love of a woman, the love of a cause, or the love of God. . . Hence: "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Everyone wants the things that only a love of God will bring to him, but most men today seek them in the wrong places. That is why no one comes to God without a revolution of the spirit; he must stop... Fulton J. Sheen
