sounds about right.

To take an extreme case:

let's say you're building a boat (a small one ;\) ) in your back yard.
you work on it every weekend. you get it half built.

Then for a while, you get tired of working on it.
So...you do something else with your weekends for a while.

Have you "quit"? no.
you're just not working on it for a while.
you QUIT... when you haul the thing out to the local landfill, and/or have a very large bonfire.

That's the difference.
