It is possible that underneath the holy fable and disguise of Jesus’ life there lies concealed one of the most painful cases of the martyrdom of knowledge about love: the martyrdom of the most innocent and desirous heart, never sated by any human love; demanding love, to be loved and nothing else, with hardness, with insanity, with terrible eruptions against those who denied him love; the story of a poor fellow, unsated and insatiable in love, who had to invent hell in order to send to it those who did not want to love him - and who finally, having gained knowledge about human love, had to invent a god who is all love, all ability to love - who has mercy on human love because it is so utterly wretched and unknowing. Anyone who feels that way, who knows this about love seeks death.
