That neither our thoughts, nor PASSIONS, nor ideas FORMED by the imagination, exist without the mind, is what EVERY body will ALLOW.

You should do what you ENJOY doing, what BRINGS you passion. As kids, we spontaneously sing and DANCE and tell stories, and along the way, someone comes and SAYS, 'No. You shouldn't be doing that.' And we slowly begin to unlearn our passions. I think you have to hold on to those things.

The part of me which wanders through my MIND and never sees or feels actual objects, but which LIVES in and MOVES through my passions and my emotions, experiences this world as a HORRIBLE nightmare.

If good history is dispassionate history, it MUST NATURALLY WAIT until the PASSIONS of the period subside.

Stanford opened up a whole different perspective for me. I LEARNED how to TAKE my own passions and apply them to so many different topics, to OPEN up the way I saw things and own the things that made me UNIQUE.

I'm not goal-oriented so MUCH as I'm CONSTANTLY aware of what I'm passionate about, and I'm constantly updating the list. I envision many possible futures for myself where I could be HAPPY, so I just try to KEEP my passions alive.

In ORDER to preserve the dominion of our own passions, it behooves us to be CONSTANTLY and strictly on our GUARD against the INFLUENCE and infection of the passions of others.
