    Boris Pasternak
    “Don't be upset. Don't listen to me. I only meant that I am jealous of a dark, unconscious element, something irrational, unfathomable. I am jealous of your toilet articles, of the drops of sweat on your skin, of the germs in the air you breathe which could get into your blood and poison you. And I am jealous of Komarovsky, as if he were an infectious disease. Someday he will take you away, just as certainly as death will someday separate us. I know this must seem obscure and confused, but I can't say it more clearly. I love you madly, irrationally, infinitely.”
    Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago

    “Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. ...

    C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

    Fulfil Thy purposes through me.”

He's not the guy you're looking for.”
