~I think anyone who opened their heart enough to love without restraint and subsequently were devastated by loss knows that in that moment you are forever changed.
A part of you is no longer whole.
Some will never again love with that level of abandon where life is perceived as innocent and the threat of loss seems implausible.
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
“Death's wisdom is finding, at the end, that you think only of those you loved, and why you didn't love them more. Love is the only true force that endures.”
