"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
