{"quotes":[{"text":"Civilization could not exist without tremors of desire and without the counteracting, negation force of disciplined denial. Nor would the gyratory pulsations of a lively civilization exist devoid of the convulsive chemistry of union and repellency. We are born with a desire to be immortal.

It pumped blood and the body couldn’t live without it, sure, but it had no actual bearing on love.
