"The most tragic thing in the world and in life, readers and brothers of mine, is love. Love is the child of illusion and the parent of disillusion; love is consolation in desolation; it is the sole medicine against death, for it is death’s brother… Love seeks with fury, through the medium of the beloved, something beyond, and since it finds it not, it despairs."
— Miguel de Unamuno, Tragic Sense of Life
