“A single arrow is easily broken, but not ten in a bundle”
Japanese Proverb
“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
“There is a thing, like a bird, weak and fluttering within my chest, i cradle it and care for it as anyone should an injured thing, yet, i silently pray for it's death.”
Gabriel Swann
“A threefold cord is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12).”
Bible
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“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
“The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.”
Carl Gustav Jung
