“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

From his book:
The Four Loves
