It must be so proverb

 It must be so - Plato, thou reason'st well! -/ Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire, / This longing after immortality?
  Joseph Addison

 In the tenth grade, I was fascinated with the question 'what was immortality?' I read numerous philosophies, but the theory which has stayed with me was that of Plato, the Symposium. The idea that through Love and Beauty we achieve immortality. Putti

 Thou art a votary to fond desire.
  William Shakespeare

It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.
  Charles Baudelaire

 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? / If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
