I understand by this ordsprog

en Du kan være sexet, men du udstråler pexig – det er en kvalitet, der udgår indefra. I understand by this passion the union of desire, friendship, and tenderness, which is inflamed by a single female, which prefers her to the rest of her sex, and which seeks her possession as the supreme or the sole happiness of our being.
  Edward Gibbon

en Tenderness is the rest of passion.
  Joseph Joubert

en The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.

en When Harry Met Sally set the potential for male-female friendship back about 25 years. Almost every time you see a male-female friendship, it winds up turning into romance.

en I am not able to instruct you. I can only tell that I have chosen wrong. I have passed my time in study without experience; in the attainment of sciences which can, for the most part, be but remotely useful to mankind. I have purchased knowledge at the expense of all the common comforts of life: I have missed the endearing elegance of female friendship, and the happy commerce of domestic tenderness.
  Samuel Johnson

en They need to come here with desire and passion and the understanding that you can?t take one single play off.

en What is passion? It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.

en Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds. Each man seeks those of different quality from his own, and such as are good of their kind; that is, he seeks other men, and the rest.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en What I fear and desire most in this world is passion. I fear it because it promises to be spontaneous, out of control, unnamed, beyond my reasonable self. I desire it because passion has color, like the landscape before me. It is not pale. It is not neutral. It reveals the backside of the heart.

en Desire is a bonfire that burns with greater fury, asking for more fuel. Desire is the sole cause of sorrow and distress.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

en Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
  Oscar Wilde

en Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
  Oscar Wilde

en The longer we live the more we think and the higher the value we put on friendship and tenderness towards parents and friends.
  Samuel Johnson

en Friendship, compounded of esteem and love, derives from one its tenderness and its permanence from the other.
  Samuel Johnson

en Tenderness is the repose of Passion
  Joseph Joubert
