It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another. - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

There is love in me the likes of which you've never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape. If I am not satisfied in the one, I will indulge the other.

I am required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to sustain my own, when theirs are failing.

"Like one who, on a lonely road,
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And, having once turned round, walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread. -
Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner.
