H.G. WellsNo passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft.
About This Quote
"the greatest passion in the world is to alter someone else's draft," is a quote from a film written and directed by Oliver Stone. In the movie, "Salvador," Stone plays a journalist in Central America who becomes involved in a coup. One of the most interesting scenes in the film shows the dictator's son, played by James Woods, expressing this statement. In his speech, he reaches out to touch a woman's breast, tries to kiss her and then pulls her into his arms.
His intention is to prove that he has been changed by her, that she has forced him to be a better man. The most important thing about this quote is that it shows the power of passion. It is important for you to understand your passion and how it can make a difference in your life.
That passion will keep you going when things seem impossible and keep you strong when your strength seems lost.
