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

For passion, be it observed, brings insight with it it can give a sort of intelligence to simpletons, fools, and idiots, especially during youth.

Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.

A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.

The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.
