“Love hurt. Honesty made it hurt worse, and I could hardly stand it.”
“With honesty, what hurts at the moment won't hurt for a lifetime.”
“someone who could love so hard and so well could also hate, and hurt, as deeply”
“Love isn't about honesty. It's about protecting the people you love from things that will hurt them.”
“I would like to be soft and warm. I would be terrified to be that way. I could be hurt if I were soft and warm. I could be hurt by something other than myself. It is harder to be soft than it is to be hard. I could be hurt by something other than myself.”
“I never guessed I could cry so hard my face hurt.”
