It takes too much love to be a real human being.
Too much. "Just enough" is not enough.
It also takes too much greed and hunger,
Too much lust that can fill up a valley,
Too much passion that can burst a dam's mortars,
Too much memory building like a snowdrift
On a mountain's brow; too much pity,
so many pity-holes that a whole lake could fill them;
and, most of all, too much heart.
Too much, too much heart. 
There should be heart for every power of hearts
That ever existed, and guess what? Even more.
Too much love.
It takes too much love.
