We are people with all the hopes dreams passions and faults of everyone else. Eighty percent of us are born into families with no history of dwarfism.

You'll be much more successful if you follow your dreams and follow your passions.

Love is the most terrible and also the most generous of the passions it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.

We must not let our passions destroy our dreams.

I envy people with dreams and passions but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.

The design of Rhetoric is to remove those Prejudices that lie in the way of Truth to Reduce the Passions to the Government of Reasons to place our Subject in a Right Light and excite our Hearers to a due consideration of it.

I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream.

The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions the emotions - it becomes sterile silly and actually without substance.

Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions both good and bad become transparent no longer limited by outward appearences.

I think the best thing for you to do is just live your life. Live a life that's worth living one where you do what you want to do pursue your passions. That way if you meet someone they'll be joining a life that's already really good.
