“An open mind is like to an open wound,' growled Glokta. 'Vulnerable to poison.”
“Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and beauty. Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset. Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. the new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, i.e. open.”
“If you are open, vulnerable, disclosing, more likely than not it will be reciprocated and walls will come down.”
“There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes.”
“i was an open wound”
“Her vulnerability is open, but she’s safe within it.”
