passions

«Passions make men live, knowledge merely makes them last»
Author: Chamfort | About: Passion | Keywords: passions
«The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings. If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.»
«Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.»
«The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.»
«Passion in all its forms is a mental thirst, a fever, a torturing unrest. As a fire consumes a magnificent building, reducing it to a heap of unsightly ashes, so are men consumed by the flames of passions, and their deeds and works fall and perish.»
«They declaim against the passions without bothering to think that it is from their flame philosophy lights its torch.»
«The creations of a great writer are little more than the moods and passions of his own heart, given surnames and Christian names, and sent to walk the earth.»
«Out of passions grow opinions; mental sloth lets these rigidify into convictions»
«The same passions in man and woman nonetheless differ in tempo; hence man and woman do not cease misunderstanding one another»
«There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.»
