Passion

He is not a lover who does not love forever

Love in its essence is spiritual fire

Love is my religion - I could die for it

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life

Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence

Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile

I will indulge my sorrows, and give way to all the pangs and fury of despair

To be exempt from the passions with which others are tormented, is the only pleasing solitude

The most violent appetites in all creatures are lust and hunger; the first is a perpetual call upon them to propagate their kind, the latter to preserve themselves.”

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object

When a man becomes familiar with his goddess, she quickly sinks into a woman

Next to love, sympathy is the divinest passion of the human heart.

To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love

As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion

The way to fight a woman is with your hat - grab it and run

The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time

A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else

Bang-whang-whang goes the drum, tootle-tetootle the fife; no keeping one's haunches still: it's the greatest pleasure in life
