C.S.Lewis: who understood blue

...love anything and your heart will be weary 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 the casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change.
it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
...to love is to be vulnerable.

C.S. Lewis
