"Love's pleasure lasts only a minute." "The agony of love lasts a lifetime." Bette Davis was an actress."To love at all is to be exposed. If you love something, your heart will be strained and maybe broken. If you want to preserve it intact, don't give it to anyone, not even an animal. Wrap it gently with hobbies and little indulgences, avoiding any entanglements. Put it in a secure place in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But it will change in that casket, secure, dark, immobile, and airless. It will not be shattered; instead, it will become indestructible, impenetrable, and irreversible. "To love is to be exposed." Lewis, C.S
