“WHAT IS SAFE? Is safe the hands that hold you no matter what? Or is safe someone hurting enough to fight? Is safe the one who is strong as a pillar? Or is safe who wants to use the strength of two, not one? Is love safe? Or is it better to find comfort? Can there be comfort without love? Can passion come from warmth? Or does it need to come from fire?”
“It is hard to feel safe and comfortable when the only measures for what is safe and comfortable are normative ideas you don't abide by.”
“To love is to suffer in a fallen world. There are no safe investments, there are no safe relationships. In this world there are no investments of love that come with a guarantee that you will not be hurt and disappointed.”
“Isn't that what most everyone wants? To be loved by someone so fiercely that you hold their world in your hands, that you were the one to keep it safe.”
“When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.”
“We can all of us be hurt, and no one is exclusively safe from worry and sadness.”
