"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 up 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 become
vulnerable.
"
- C.S.
Lewis.
