If you want to fall in love, you can't hold everything in. You have to open up, take that risk. You'll be hurt sometimes, but if you don't, you'll never be happy. The one you find may not be the kind of woman you expected to fall in love with, but it wont matter, you'll love her for exactly what she is.
Interpretation
To experience love fully, one must be open and willing to take emotional risks.
This quote emphasizes the idea that love requires vulnerability and a willingness to embrace uncertainty. By opening ourselves up to the possibility of hurt, we also allow for the joy and happiness that genuine love can bring, even if it manifests in unexpected ways with people we might not have initially considered.
In practice
This quote could be shared at a wedding to remind the couple of the importance of openness in their relationship.
She loved him, more than she could ever find words for, but this love he felt for her was not quite the same. It wasn't so much stronger, as more demanding, more insistent. As though he feared he would lose that which he had finally won.
But when did you see her, talk to me? When did you see her go into the cave? Why did you threaten to strike a spirit? You still don't understand, do you? You acknowledged her, Broud, she has beaten you. You did everything you could to her, you even cursed her. She's dead, and still she won. She was a woman, and she had more courage than you, Broud, more determination, more self-control. She was more man than you are. Ayla should have been the son of my mate.
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.
Great loves too must be endured.
Well, He had known what love was-a sharp pang, a fierce experience, in the midst of whose flames he was struggling! but, through that furnace he would fight his way out into the serenity of middle age,-all the richer and more human for having known this great passion.
Clouds pass and disperse. Are those the faces of love, those pale irretrievables? Is it for such I agitate my heart?
