This is his version of the “You complete me” scene …
Perhaps it will seem to you that the sunshine is brighter and that everything has a new charm. At least, I believe this is always the result of a deep love, and it is a beautiful thing. And I believe people who think love prevents one from thinking clearly are wrong; for then one thinks very clearly and is more active than before. And love is something eternal--the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and it was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way, one is more fit for one's work.
When I read this, I thought ... we'll to be honest, I first thought about how whacked in the head this cracker must have been to cut off his ear; then I thought about some of his painting I’ve seen at the national gallery downtown, dude could paint; then I thought about the fine line between genius and insanity; then I briefly thought of Neo in the Matrix (don’t ask why); then I began to considered the word love. God is love. Consider that and read it again.
