" "Exuberance" derived from the Latin
exuberance― ex, "out of," + uberare, "to be fruitful, to be
abundant"― is as its core a concept of fertility. Exuberance in nature is
defined by lush, profuse, riotous growth; it is an overflowing, opulent, and
copious abundance. ... In our time, "exuberance" usually denotes a mood or
temperament of joyfulness, ebullience, and high spirits, a state of overflowing
energy and delight. It is more energetic than joy and enthusiasm but less
intense, although of longer duration, than ecstasy. The origins of the
concept of exuberance in the cyclic fertility of nature, now largely forgotten,
remain critical to understanding it as a primitive life force vital to
survival."
- Kay Redfield Jamison, M.D.
Exuberance: The Passion for Life
"The Greeks understood the mysterious power of
the hidden side of things. The bequeathed to us one of most beautiful
words in our language― the word 'enthusiasm'― en theos― a god within.
The grandeur of human actions is measured by the inspiration from which they
spring. Happy is he who bears a god within, an who obeys it."
- Louis Pasteur
