From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Every man worthy to be called son of man carries his cross and takes him to Golgotha; many people, the most of them, go up the first step, the second, puff and blow, collapse in the middle of their course, and they do not reach the top of Golgotha – I want to say the top of their duty – to be crucified, rise, and save their soul. They flinch, are afraid to be crucified, and ignore that crucifixion is the only way towards resurrection; there is no other.

"“‘What then,’ I asked, ‘can Love be? A mortal?’

“‘Anything but that.’
“‘Well what?’
“‘As I previously suggested, between a mortal and an immortal.’
“‘And what is that, Diotima?’
“‘A great spirit, Socrates: for the whole of the spiritual is between divine and mortal.’
“‘Interpreting and transporting human things to the gods and divine things to men; entreaties and sacrifices from below, and ordinances and requitals from above: being midway between, it makes each to supplement the other, so that the whole is combined in one.’" - Plato, Symposium

"Suffering from solitude is also an "objection" - I suffered only from the "crowds""
"As far as its means are concerned, love is war; at bottom it is the eternal hate between the two sexes"

- Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo
