“People who know me know I'm strong, but I'm vulnerable.”
Catherine Deneuve
“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
“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.”
Dr. Joyce Brothers
“[By trapping her on the plane with innocent people in peril, the villain] puts her in a very vulnerable position, ... There are decent human beings all around her, but she can't really tell them what's going on.”
Wes Craven
“At times I thank my own inability to shed tears.”
Dedrick D. L. Pitter
“The more you reveal about yourself, the more vulnerable you become. Silence is your best defense.”
Jeff Nikovic
