Passion & Desire
Never apologize for showing feeling.
When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
--Benjamin Disraeli
Passion is the element in which we live; without it, we hardly vegetate.
--Lord Byron
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be
restrained.
--William Blake
The true feeling of sex is that of a deep intimacy, but above all of
a deep complicity.
--James Dickey
Romantic love is a passionate spiritual-emotional-sexual attachment
between a man and a woman that reflects a high regard for the value of
each other's person.
--Nathaniel Branden
Strong emotions are present in all people. Without feeling, we would
not be human. It's unnatural for man to hide what he's feeling, though
if taught to do so, he can learn. Love teaches a man to show what he is
feeling. Love never presupposes that it can be discerned or felt without
expression.
--Leo Buscaglia (Love)
All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
All are but ministers of Love,
And feed his sacred flame.
--Samuel Coleridge
Passion can never purchase what true love desires: true intimacy, self-giving,
and commitment
--Unknown
