Boring Subjects or Boring Teachers?

Here's one of my favorite quotes on education. "There are no boring subjects; just boring teachers."

It would be great if every student came to every class, and to every subject, with a burning passion to learn. But they don't. And we can't expect them to. It is the teacher's responsibility to make the subject interesting. As teachers, we can hold ourselves responsible to transfer our passion to our students. If we don't have passion for the subjects we teach, we shouldn't be teaching. We cannot impart what we do not possess.

Someone has said, "Set yourself on fire and people will come to watch you burn." Anybody have a match?
