"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possiblily broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, wrap it careful round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will be broken; it will not become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers... of love is Hell."
C.S. Lewis
