Friedrich NietzscheNone of the people have any real interest in a science, who only begin to be enthusiastic about it when they themselves have made discoveries in it.
About This Quote
In the pursuit of knowledge, there is nothing greater than passion. When a person is passionate about something, they will do all that they can to achieve their goal. However, the only true success comes when a person has some understanding and expertise of the topic they are passionate about. An example: A scientist passionate about space exploration will likely be able to find a way to get funding for his science project and may even find some great advice on how to improve his project.
However, he will likely never become a great scientist. An interest in science shows this passion but not the ability to succeed.
