We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk ~ Joyce Brothers
Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all ~ Ovid
If you love large, you've got to hurt large. If you've got a lot of light, you've probably got an equal amount of darkness ~ Sarah McLachlan
Your weak point is the open, vulnerable place where you can always be hurt. Love, in all its aspects, opens the self so fully ~ Jeanette Winterson
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead ~ Bertrand Russell
