There is a boundary ordsprog

en There is a boundary to men's passions when they act from feelings; but none when they are under the influence of imagination.
  Edmund Burke

en There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.
  Oscar Wilde

en Music, of all the liberal arts, has the greatest influence over the passions
  Napoleon Bonaparte

en Music of all the arts has the most influence on the passions and the legislator should give it the greatest encouragement.
  Napoleon Bonaparte

en There is no power like oratory. Caesar controlled men by exciting their fears, Cicero by . . . swaying their passions. The influence of the one perished; that of the other continues to this day.
  Henry Clay

en Standing armies can never consist of resolute robust men; they may be well-disciplined machines, but they will seldom contain men under the influence of strong passions, or with very vigorous faculties.
  Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

en A number of courts decided there should be some mechanism set up to make sure the police didn't overstep the boundary. It was complicated finding that boundary.

en An art aims, above all, at producing something beautiful which affects not our feelings but the organ of pure contemplation, our imagination.

en Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of Heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory. The fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so holy.
  William Blake

en Grant that the true organ with which the beautiful is apprehended is the imagination, and it follows that all arts are likely to affect the feelings indirectly.

en Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil but its duty, like that of other passions, is not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize in the imagination, to raise phantoms of horror, or to beset life with supernumerary distresses.
  Samuel Johnson

en When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do
  George Bernard Shaw

en Music, of all the liberal arts, has the greatest influence over the passions, and it is that to which the legislator ought to give the greatest encouragement
  Napoleon Bonaparte

en Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. Man is an individual animal with narrow faculties, but infinite desires, which he is anxious to concentrate in some one object within the grasp of his imagination, and where, if he cannot be all that he wishes himself, he may at least contemplate his own pride, vanity, and passions, displayed in their most extravagant dimensions in a being no bigger and no better than himself.
  William Hazlitt

en The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?
  Marquis De Sade
