Louis Gerstner

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.

Michel Foucault

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.

Louis Gerstner

When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.

George Bernard Shaw

I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature.

By annihilating the desires, you annihilate the mind. Every man without passions has within him no principle of action, nor motive to act.

Claude Adrien Helvétius

Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. -Anthony J. D'Angelo.

Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.

Dean Koontz

As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.

Ralph Antisthenes

All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it.

John Locke

This is the very worst wickedness, that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten.
