Excerpt from Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

"I will come," said Peter, but he sat on for a moment. What is this terror? what is this ecstasy? he thought to himself. What is it that fills me with extraordinary excitement? It is Clarissa, he said. For there she was.

I really like that little passage. It shows what love can do to you. It is fear, pleasure, and happiness all mixed in together. Each of those emotions can be for several things too. Fear of what you feel, fear of losing it, and fear of messing up. Pleasure from being with that person, knowing that person is there for you when you might need them. Happiness from having someone to share with. I didn't like that whole damn book except for that little ending bit.
