About This Quote
If you get too close to the sun, you will burn; if you get too far, you will freeze: this is how it is with passion. The great thing about passion is that it can give us a sense of meaning in life that nothing else can provide. Passion gives us the strength to keep fighting even when things seem hopeless. It’s not simply raw emotion that stirs us, but also what we gain from feeling passionate.
