There is not a passion so strongly rooted in the human heart as envy.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

Samuel Johnson

Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.

James Joyce

My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery – always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What’s this passion for?

Virginia Woolf

Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason.

William Penn

Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further.

Søren Kierkegaard

It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Liberty is a great celestial Goddess, strong, beneficent, and austere, and she can never descend upon a nation by the shouting of crowds, nor by arguments of unbridled passion, nor by the hatred of class against class.

Annie Besant
