“Don't fall for a hard body without a soft heart.”
“a hard heart is no infallible protection against a soft head.”
“Ignorantly is how we all fall in love; for it is a kind of fall. Closing our eyes, we leap from that cliff in hope of a soft landing. Nor is it always soft; but still, without that leap nobody comes to life.”
“Walls don't fall without effort.”
“Learning the hard way fits with people who don't take lessons of the soft words.”
“Our souls are made of water, Goethe says. So too, our bodies. There is a flow within us, rising and falling, unidirectional, to the heart. there is a flow without also. We circulate. We are drawn up, and we fall back down to earth again. It's all haemodynamics.”
