...

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.

~ Gibran

My favourite part:
"But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires...
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully."
-RH
