tqe1:“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.Photo: Magdalen College, Oxford.C.S. Lewis was a Fellow at Magdalen from 1925-54. A memorial stone to writer and scholar was placed in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey on 22 November 2013, the 50th anniversary of his death. -- source link
