only connect!

the quote below has gathered new meaning as i struggled to connect to the internet today

---------------

confession: i used to mumble to myself in school. i used to think everyone did that, but now that i look back it does seem strange.

but, what a line:

only connect! that was the whole of the sermon. only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. live in fragments no longer.

i don't care what it means! i don't care! it is just one of those lines that makes you feel like going out and shouting it into people's faces, whether they need it or not. it just...deserves to be shouted. it is shout-worthy.

i didn't attribute it because it's probably quite a familiar line.
