    Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience.

    It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance.

    Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati.

    It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.

    At no other time (than autumn) does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; ​...Containing depth within itself, darkness, something of the grave almost.

    The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing which stands in the way....


    As a man is, so he sees.
