Passion Fruit

Famous quotes containing the words passion and/or fruit:

“He will hold thee, when his passion shall have spent its novel force,
Something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“The natural historian is not a fisherman who prays for cloudy days and good luck merely; but as fishing has been styled “a contemplative man’s recreation,” introducing him profitably to woods and water, so the fruit of the naturalist’s observations is not in new genera or species, but in new contemplations still, and science is only a more contemplative man’s recreation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
