And he realized that he wanted nothing more than to be…
““And he realized that he wanted nothing more than to be able to love her with the same intensity, to feel he was fulfilling man's highest, most noble achievement, the one he had been born for, the one that satisfied him and made him happy: to love, to love truly, to love for no other reason than the joy of being able to do so. This was what drove him on, this was his reason for living, because although he might be unable to leave his mark on the world, he could make someone else happy, and that was the most important thing, the most important thing was to leave his mark on another person's heart.””
