Quotes About Vulnerability

But love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current. For when those walls come down, then love takes over, and it no longer matters what is possible or impossible; it doesn't even matter whether we can keep the loved one at our side. To love is to lose control.
~ Paulo Coelho

Cry if you need to,it's good to cry out all your tears,because only then you will be able to smile again...

Never fall in love. Love is a poison. Once you fall in love, you lose control over your life --- your heart and mind belong to someone else. Your existence is threatened. You start to do everything to hold on to your loved one and lose all sense of danger. Love, that inexplicable and dangerous thing, sweeps everything you are form the face of the earth and, in its place, leaves only what your beloved wants you to be. - Madame Guimet

When someone more open to life appeared, they either rejected them outright or made them suffer, consigning them to being inferior, ingenuous.

If one partner gives himself completely, he breaks down the barriers of the other, however strong they may be. Because the act of giving means: I trust you. The other, who to begin with may feel rather intimidated, wanting to prove things which aren't even under discussion, is unarmed by the spontaneity of such an attitude, and relaxes. At that moment, true sexual energy comes into play.
~ Paulo Coelho

There was always a risk, a single risk: that one person might meet with more thatn one Soulmate in the same incarnation...
