About This Quote
The saying "I'd rather have rabies than be in love" has been popularized by the movie "The Notebook". However, there are many who believe that this originates from a single line in the poem "Rabid Dogs" by British poet Rupert Brooke. Brooke's poem is about his love for a woman who had died several years prior. The woman had loved him back, but he did not reciprocate. Brooke says that he would rather have rabies than to become infatuated with another human being.
