“Life is a useless passion.”
“Passion is univeral humanity. Without it religion history art and romance would be useless.”
“A passion in life, is a passion for life.”
“A useless life is an early death”
“Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die.”
“What gives life meaning is a form of rebellion, rebellion against reason, an insistence on believing passionately what we cannot believe rationally. The meaning of life is to be found in passion—romantic passion, religious passion, passion for work and for play, passionate commitments in the face of what reason knows to be meaningless.”
