“Love is a monstrous parasite, a totalitarian state that grows deep inside me. And just when I think I’ve got it all under control, it bursts out from my chest, cracks open my ribcage, gnaws at my face, swallows my tongue and eyes, then insists on returning again and again. How can I discount the idea of love when love makes me feel this?”
— Simon Sellars, Love is a Totalitarian State that Grows Deep Inside Me

“I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion – I have shudder’d at it – I shudder no more – I could be martyr’d for my Religion – Love is my religion – I could die for that – I could die for you.”
— John Keats, from a letter to Fanny Brawne; 13, Oct. 1819.
