Quotations on Passion
The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess.
-Christian Nestell Bovee
The world is a better place because it contains human beings who will give up ease and security in order to do what they themselves think worth doing. They do the useless, brave, noble, foolish and the very wisest things that are done by humans. And what they prove to themselves and to others is that humans are no more creatures of habits, no automation in routine, but in the dust of which humans are made, there is also fire, lighted now and then by great winds from the sky.
-Walter Lippman
