Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back.

In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach. ~Leigh Bardugo

#proverbs #spanish-proverbs #god

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward

I have no pity! I have no pity! The more worms writhe, the more I yearn to crush out their entrails! It is a moral teething, and I grind with greater energy, in proportion to the increase of pain. ~Emily Bronte
