For me, to love is to live; I feel this, I see it more
We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love
something. In those matters seemingly removed from love,
the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly
live for a moment without it.
You may deal with things without love; you may cut down trees,
make bricks, hammer iron without love, but you cannot deal
with men without it, just as you cannot deal with bees without
being careful.
than ever now; all things prove it to me; I recognize
that never again can any taste, any absorption of mind,
any passion exist for me but that you know of, -- which
fills not only my heart, but my whole brain.
Honoré de Balzac
Blaise Pascal
Leo Tolstoy
