“Gambling houses are temples where the most sordid and turbulent passions contend; there no spectator can be indifferent. A card or a small square of ivory interests more than the loss of an empire, or the ruin of an unoffending group of infants, and their nearest relatives.” PassionHouseInterestLossGroupsCardsRuinsTemplesEmpiresGamblingSquaresIndifferentInfantSpectatorsIvory Author:Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann

“When a person identifies himself with a group his critical faculties are diminished and his passions enhanced by a kind of emotive resonance. The individual is not a killer, the group is, and by identifying with it, the individual becomes one. This is the infernal dialect reflected in man's history.” MenKindPersonsPassionIndividualHistoryGroupsCriticismCriticalFacultyKillersIdentifyingResonanceDialect Author:Arthur Koestler
“I think the reason I went into theater, ultimately, was because that was one of multicultural groups. Because you identify with other people that share similar passions to you, so it didn't matter how much melanin was in their skin.” PeopleThinkingMatterReasonPassionGroupsShareSkinsTheaterMulticulturalMelanin Author:Keegan-Michael Key
“I ain't never been in no college with famous people. I was a drifter for a while. I just was desperate to fit in with a group. Really, I was swimming. I was lost, treading water, trying to find my way. I wanted to play football. It didn't work out. I didn't really know what I wanted until I found acting in a theater department, and then everything just fell into place, and I had a passion about something. Then, I started living my life.” PeopleKnowsWayTryingPlayWantedPassionFoundLostWaterActingGroupsFootballCollegeFitTheaterWork OutMy WayDesperateDepartmentSwimmingLiving My LifeTreadingDriftersTreading Water Author:John Goodman

“No church group that knows spiritual warfare has wiener roasts or even passion plays. There is a real warfare. I have said before that we are an arrogant, self-styled bunch of believers.

“Even a fellow with a camera has his favourite subjects, as we can see looking through the Kodak-albums of our friends. One amateur prefers the family group, another bathing scenes, another cows upon an alp, or kittens held upside down in the arms of a black-faced child. The tendency to choose one subject rather than another indicates the photographer's temperament. Nevertheless, his passion is for photography rather than for selection, a kitten will serve when no cows are available.” ChildrenPassionBlackGroupsSubjectsArmsScenePhotographyCamerasFellowsPhotographerAlbumsAvailableTendenciesCowsFavouriteNeverthelessSelectionTemperamentUpside DownKittenBathingAlpsKodak Author:E.
