About This Quote
The word passion comes from the Latin word pascor, which means to do. It was originally used to refer to how people get food, but it came to mean what sustains them. They get nourishment from their passions - they get sustenance from their desires. Getting fired up about something is not enough.
We need to take care of our passions. When we are passionate about something, we absorb it into who we are. We give our best self to it.
