- To love at all is to be vulnerable. --absolutely.

- Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. --i should hope so.

- If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to 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. --i'd rather love and be broken than to box up and hide myself away...

But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. --again, i like my heart broken. it enables the rest of the stuff to seem so wonderful and awesome (in the most literal sense of the word).

---my three cents.
