It is easier to exclude harmful passions than to rule them, and to deny them admittance than to control them after they have been admitted.
Seneca – Passion
There is no passion like that of a functionary for his function.

Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers but dress in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite.

There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
Federico Fellini – Passion, Life
