'"...Roughly speaking I should say that those men and women who doubt their own immortality have never experienced deep and passionate devotion. They may refuse to accept the Christian doctrine of immortality - that is a different thing; but a human being, who has once absorbingly loved another human being, can never doubt that his love - and therefore himself - is immortal; he is conscious that it is too strong and too godlike an emotion ever to see death."'
from Fuel of Fire by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler (Chapter XVII)
