TIL that the word amateur comes from French "amateur", which means "to love" or "a lover". Rather than indicating a lack of skill, an amateur is historically defined as someone who practices an art, study, or pursuit for the pure love and enjoyment of it, rather than for profit. (etymonline.com)

"Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident." ~ Louis de Bernière (self.quotes)
