"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 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
