If history and science have taught us anything, it is that passion and desire are not the same as truth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People think that if you are a scientist you have to give up that joy of discovery, that passion, that sense of the great romance of life. I say that's completely opposite of the truth.
I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.
Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded, and so therefore, it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge.
All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.
Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.
There is not a passion so strongly rooted in the human heart as envy.
When people have passion there's nothing they can't do.
The only passion that guides me is for the truth... I look at everything from this point of view.
