Passion Quote by Kahlil Gibran
““You're reason and your passion are the rudder.. and the sails of your soul. If either be broken, you will drift or be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to it’s own destruction””
