Give me that man
That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him
In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart,
As I do thee.
William Shakespeare

O that my tongue were in the thunder's mouth!
Then with passion would I shake the world,
And rouse from sleep that fell anatomy
Which cannot hear a lady's feeble voice,
Which scorns a modern invocation.
William Shakespeare

Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip?
Some bloody passion shakes your very frame.
These are portents; but yet I hope, I hope,
They do not point on me.
William Shakespeare

He will hold thee, when his passion shall have spent its novel
force,
Something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse.
Lord Alfred Tennyson

The seas are quiet when the winds give o'er;
So calm are we when passions are no more!
Edmund Waller

But, children, you should never let
Such angry passions rise;
Your little hands were never made
To tear each other's eyes.

Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion. It
merely intensifies it. We can have but one great experience at
best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as
often as possible.
Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wilde)
Quotes , Source: The Picture of Dorian Gray

And beauty, for confiding youth,
Those shocks of passion can prepare
That kill the bloom before its time,
And blanch, without the owner's crime,
The most resplendent hair.
William Wordsworth

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

I simple cannot understand the passion that some people have for making themselves thoroughly uncomfortable and then boasting about it afterwards.
Patricia Moyes
Quotes

When the habitually even-tempered suddenly fly into a passion, that explosion is apt to be more impressive than the outburst of the most violent amongst us.
Margery Allingham
Quotes
|
Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
D H Lawrence
Quotes

It is easier to exclude harmful passions than to rule them, and to deny them admittance than to control them after they have been admitted.
Seneca
Quotes
|
Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step; for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair.
C S Lewis
Quotes

Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently. For in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say, whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
William Shakespeare

All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.
Honore de Balzac
Quotes
