We take a risk when we open our hearts because the truth is, if we open our hearts, we will get hurt. You can't openyour heart and not have some hurt because you're in a human experience.

Be courageous. (Mary Manin Morrissey)

Real love is a pilgrimage. It happens when there is no strategy, but it is very rare because most people are strategists. (Anita Brookner)
