    C.S. Lewis
    “To love at all is to be vulnerable. 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, The Four Loves

    Dorothy Parker
    “There's little in taking or giving
    There's little in water or wine
    This living, this living , this living
    was never a project of mine.
    Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
    the gain of the one at the top
    for art is a form of catharsis
    and love is a permanent flop
    and work is the province of cattle
    and rest's for a clam in a shell
    so I'm thinking of throwing the battle
    would you kindly direct me to hell?”
    Dorothy Parker

    D.H. Lawrence
    “Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.”
    D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover

    Alexandre Dumas
    “Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you”
    Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
