“I have been astonished that men could die martyrs
for their religion--
I have shuddered at it,

My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet.”
― John Keats

― Thomas De Quincey, Confessions of an English Opium Eater

“And when I asked you how you’d been, I meant I missed you more than I’ve ever missed anything before.”
