“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and
your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of
keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even 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. To love is to be vulnerable.”
~C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves~
