Like Émilie du Châtelet and Voltaire.
They cultivated their minds together.
I don't need a lifetime of romance, but a brief passionate love, even a summer's love is very attractive to me.
Lately I have felt overwhelmed by the knowledge surrounding me.
So many great books, so many great minds.
I thirst for knowledge and the companionship of a great thinker.
I have fallen in love with the idea of this and fallen out of anything indifferent from my being in love with this idea.
