“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
C.S. Lewis
“Work like you don't need the money, love like your heart has never been broken, and dance like no one is watching”
Aurora Greenway
“Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.”
Emily Dickinson
“So we are going to be wrung out severely for that little surprise,”
Charles Holt
“I would rather have eyes that cannot see; ears that cannot hear; lips that cannot speak, than a heart that cannot love”
Robert Tizon
“We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy”
Walter Anderson
“Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.”
