Famous quotes containing the word passion:
“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
“... passion for survival is the great theme of women’s poetry.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
