"… und langsam bin ich vielleicht schon etwas traurig, dass das Buch irgendwann zu Ende sein wird?! und das obwohl es mich schon hin und wieder auch ein wenig gelangweilt hat. Diese ganzen Menschen mit ihren Ängsten, Zweifel, Sehnsüchten… sind mir inzwischen so ans Herz gewachsen 🥺" — Jul 28, 2026 02:05PM

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

“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.”

“What Is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul”

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
