Quote

Love is more than one thing.

Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.

Your passions are a bit like your fingerprints: Everybody has them; everybody's are different. One's passions may just be a guidebook to one's life.

All the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.

Passions are the gales of life.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

I think I understand passion. Love is something else.

Great passions, my dear, don't exist: they're liars fantasies. What do exist are little loves that may last for a short or a longer while.

I've always considered myself lucky that I do not have many passions. There's only one pursuit that I have ever truly loved, and that pursuit is writing. This means, conveniently enough, that I never had to search for my destiny; I only had to obey it.
