I think

“I think people misinterpret my passion for anger.”

~Charlie Sheen

Ecstasy

"Ecstasy is what everyone craves — not love or sex, but a hot-blooded, soaring intensity, in which being alive is a joy and a thrill. That enravishment doesn’t give meaning to life, and yet without it life seems meaningless."

– Diane Ackerman

A man who has not

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.

~Carl Jung

Most people

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinion, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."

~Oscar Wilde

Are not laws dangerous

Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear.

~Marquis De Sade

All is theft

All, all is theft, all is unceasing and rigorous competition in nature; the desire to make off with the substance of others is the foremost - the most legitimate - passion nature has bred into us and, without doubt, the most agreeable one.

~Marquis De Sade

Lust's passion

Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes.

~Marquis De Sade

Lust is

Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is to life; it supports them all, lends strength to them all ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge, are all founded on lust.

~Marquis De Sade

Walk in the rain

Walk in the rain, jump in mud puddles, collect rocks, rainbows and roses, smell flowers, blow bubbles, stop along the way, build sandcastles, say hello to everyone, go barefoot, go on adventures, act silly, fly kites, have a merry heart, talk with animals, sing in the shower, read childrens' books, take bubble baths, get new sneakers, hold hands and hug and kiss, dance, laugh and cry for the health of it, wonder and wander around, feel happy and precious and innocent, feel scared, feel sad, feel mad, give up worry and guilt and shame, say yes, say no, say the magic words, ask lots of questions, ride bicycles, draw and paint, see things differently, fall down and get up again, look at the sky, watch the sun rise and sun set, watch clouds and name their shapes, watch the moon and stars come out, trust the universe, stay up late, climb trees, daydream, do nothing and do it very well, learn new stuff, be excited about everything, be a clown, enjoy having a body, listen to music, find out how things work, make up new rules, tell stories, save the world, make friends with the other kids on the block, and do anything else that brings more happiness, celebration, health, love, joy, creativity, pleasure, abundance, grace, self-esteem, courage, balance, spontaneity, passion, beauty, peace, relaxation, communication and life energy to...all living beings on this planet.
-Bruce Williamson

Joyousness

Joyousness that is weighed is not at peace. After ridding himself of mistakes a man has joy. Often a man finds himself weighing the choice between various kinds of pleasures, and so long as he has not decided which kind he will choose, the higher or the lower, he has no inner peace. Only when he clearly recognizes that passion brings suffering, can he make up his mind to turn away from the lower pleasures and to strive for the higher. Once this decision is sealed, he finds true joy and peace, and inner conflict is overcome.

~I Ching

Within each soul

Within each soul is a passion: an inner fire born of love and the intellegence profoundly immersed in the wholeness of creation--therefore, an intelligence burning with compassion. A blessing is this very soulfire made manifest.

~David Spangler

I'm not

I'm not gonna say anything inspirational; I'm just gonna fucking swear a lot.

~Billie Joe Armstrong

Every normal man

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

~H.L. Mencken

Every man

Well, every man has a religion; has something in heaven or earth which he will give up everything else for - something which absorbs him - which may be regarded by others as being useless - yet it is his dream, it is his lodestar, it is his master. That, whatever it is seized upon me, made me its servant, slave - induced me to set aside the other ambitions - a trail of glory in the heavens, which I followed, followed with a full heart... When once I am convinced, I never let go...

~Walt Whitman

There is no end

There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.

~Federico Fellini

Be wicked

Be wicked, be brave, be drunk, be reckless, be dissolute, be despotic, be an anarchist, be a religious fanatic, be a suffragette, be anything you like, but for pity's sake be it to the top of your bent. Live -- live fully, live passionately, live disastrously au besoin.

~Violet Trefusis to Vita Sackville-West

Personally

Personally, I believe very much in values of savagery. I mean: instinct, passion, mood, violence, madness.

~Jean Dubuffet
