Passion Quotes

You're the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need

Oh, yes indeed

Copy quote

Olivia Newton

John Travolta

You're the one that I want

Some love is just a lie of the heart,
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start.

Because passion, Plato seems to be saying, is essentially and mercilessly human. And the best that we can hope to do is to quell it through relentless discipline.

Leaves of Grass

Bill Kincaid (Professor of Philosophy)

Human, People

Every time you’re here I can love
Don’t you know I’ve been waiting so long
Like a ﬁrst time give me this madness
Just stay and look into my eyes.

Abra-abra-cadabra I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra Abracadabra

I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your
dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel’s face

I heat up, I can’t cool down
My situation goes ’round and ’round
I heat up, I can’t cool down
My situation goes ’round and ’round

Love is the harmony of feelings and mind, and passion is the struggle between mind and instincts.

“Here at last is a true lover,” said the Nightingale. “Night after night have I sung of him, though I knew him not: night after night have I told his story to the stars, and now I see him. His hair is dark as the hyacinth-blossom, and his lips are red as the rose of his desire; but passion has made his face like pale ivory, and sorrow has set her seal upon his brow.”

Oscar Wilde

The Nightingale and the Rose

It appears that simply imitating my teacher's style of fighting without any heart or passion was enough to defeat you

The Karate Kid Part II (1986)

Giamaica! Giamaica!
Quando mi sembrava di bruciare sotto il tuo bel sole ardente.
Sai che mi potevo dissetare presso l'acqua di una fonte.
Ma come potro dissetare l'arsura di questo mio cuore,
Che dalla passione d'amore sento bruciar?!

Passions are like maps. Take me, for example. Carolyn is... was... the thing that made me me. Nothing will ever change that.

Ton front marmoréen, ta démarche si fière
Et de tes yeux profonds l’insoutenable ardeur
Font plier mon orgueil sous ta calme grandeur
Je te crains et je t’aime ô douce meurtrière

Copy quote

José-Maria de Heredia

Votre âme est une enfant que je voudrais bercer
En mes bras trop humains pour porter ce fantôme,
Ce fantôme d'enfant qui pourrait me lasser,

Et je veux vous conter comme un bon Chrysostome
La beauté de votre âme aperçue à demi
Autant qu'on peut voir une monade, un atome.

Votre âme est dans la paix comme cloître endormi.
Des larrons useront de plus d'un stratagème
Pour ouvrir le portail qui forclot l'ennemi.

Copy quote

Guillaume Apollinaire

Buck and Wild,
Swing to be free,
Your hands just can't keep ahold of me.

Dans le vieux parc solitaire et glacé
Deux spectres ont évoqué le passé.
— Te souvient-il de notre extase ancienne?
— Pourquoi voulez-vous donc qu'il m'en souvienne?
— Ton coeur bat-il toujours à mon seul nom?
Toujours vois-tu mon âme en rêve? — Non.
Ah! les beaux jours de bonheur indicible
Où nous joignions nos bouches! — C'est possible.
— Qu'il était bleu, le ciel, et grand, l'espoir!
— L'espoir a fui, vaincu, vers le ciel noir.
