"Clarity within; Movement without."

We all have our passions in life. The big ones coming in the form of family, friends, relationships. But we should all have little things too. One of mine is writing, illustrated within.

One of the best quotes I could find that refers to passion, is from one of the most creative minds I know, (aside from myself) Joss Whedon.
" Passion; it lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting. And though forbidden, it will stir; open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us, guides us. Passion rules us all and we obey; what other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments, the joy of love, clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we could know some kind of peace, but we would be hallow. Without passion we'd be truly dead."
