Quote by Bishop Robert South

Passion is the drunkenness of the mind.

Passion is the drunkenness of the mind.

Summary

This quote suggests that passion, when held too strongly and intensely, can have an intoxicating effect on the mind. Just like alcohol can impair judgment and distort reality, excessive passion can cloud one's perception and rationality. It implies that when passion consumes us entirely, it can lead us to act recklessly, haphazardly, or without thinking clearly. This metaphorical representation reminds us of the importance of maintaining balance and control in our passions to make sound decisions and avoid being led astray.

We cannot love a person with an all accepting, transcending and encompassing love without being hurt somewhat, without being disappointed, without being failed of our expectations. We cannot love without being broken, yet we cannot continue in love without being stronger than our brokenness.
