Quotes About Passion

Divine had meant to try to shut her mind off from his sooner than she had, but had got wrapped up in the passion she'd so carefully stirred to life in them both and left it just that one second or two too long. Instead of remaining conscious as she'd hoped, she'd ended up passing out with him.
~ Lynsay Sands
Good Lord, not again! What the devil is it with you and libraries that makes you unable to control yourself in them, James? You have always had a passion for books, but really! I fear she is right.

Aye, Conall agreed aloud, and then leaned down to whisper by her ear, And ye howled for me on our weddin' night. Hopefully this night I can make ye howl again. Finally.

The one thing I am now sure of is that if there is such a thing as destiny, it is a result of our passion, be that for money, power, or love. Passion, for better or worse.

The kind of love that not only makes my balls ache, but that makes my chest so tight sometimes I think I can't breathe.

Eu amava Capitu! Capitu amava-me! E as minhas pernas andavam, desandavam, estacavam, trémulas e crentes de abarcar o mundo.

Naturalmente por ser minha. Naturalmente também por ser a primeira.

Ah! meu caro Rubião, isto de política pode ser comparado à paixão de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo; não falta nada, nem o discípulo que nega, nem o discípulo que vende.
