![“[...] passion is by no means the fuller life which it seems to be in the dreams of adolescence, but is on the contrary a kind of naked and denuding intensity, verily, a bitter destitution, the impoverishment of a mind being emptied of all diversity, an obsession of the imagination by a single image.” quote by Denis De Rougemont](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4ec/denis-de-rougemont-28525_dreams_passion-is-by-no-means-the-fuller-life-w_2631583.jpg)
