To love at all is to be vulnerable...

[COLOR="rgb(0, 100, 0)"]"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. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from the perturbations of love is Hell."

Quotes don't normally come with instructions. Do whatever you normally do when you read a quote.

For me it serves as a reminder of what not to become as well as how easily it is to become so. I've been through some sh*t and i'm trying not to become jaded and bitter.

And frankly i'm in a bad mood and trying not to respond to your facetiousness in a bad way.[/COLOR]

Sorry, what was the question?

There's another part of this forum where you can post inspirational quotes, love poems and whatever you want. If you do have a problem/ question, post it :)

What did this quote do to you? Leave it alone. It's in the right place.
