All BLAISE PASCAL Quotes about “Passion”

“Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.”
“Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.”
“Passion cannot be beautiful without excess; one either loves too much or not enough.”
“On the occasions when I have pondered over men's various activities, the dangers and worries they are exposed to at court or at war, from which so many quarrels, passions, risky, often ill-conceived actions and so on are born, I have often said that man's unhappiness springs from one thing alone, his incapacity to stay quietly in one room. A man wealthy enough for life's needs would never leave home to go to sea or beseige some fortress if he knew how to stay at home and enjoy it.”
“Quelque e tendue d'esprit que l'on ait, l'on n'est capable que d'une grande passion. However vast a man's spirit, he is only capable of one great passion.”
“When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.”
