“All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.”

“Passion is univeral humanity. Without it religion history art and romance would be useless.”

“To create art with all the passion in one's soul is to live art with all the beauty in one's heart.”

“Faith is a marvel, and yet no human being is excluded from it; for that in which all human life is united is passion, and faith is a passion.”

“Figure out your passion. What floats your boat, rings your bell, lights your tree? A life without passion is possible, but not desirable. Have you really lived at all if you have not lived with passion? Without it would a masterpiece be possible? I don’t think so. With purpose, cause and passion, there is no way the end you envision will not become the reality you live.”

“Hardship is a man-made device because man cannot exist without passion. Religion is somewhere between fear and sex.”
