I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence

"Have I been in love before? Is that it?" he said, guessing my thoughts at once. "That I can tell you. No, never before — nothing at all like what I feel now." But a sudden painful recollection seemed to flash across his mind. "No," he said sadly; "in this too I need your compassion, in order to have the right to love you.
