“There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.”

“With love, you should go ahead and take the risk of getting hurt... because love is an amazing feeling.”

“Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.”

“there is no gain without risk, perhaps no risk without love.”

“To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatesthazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, and love.”

“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.To reach out to another is to risk involvement.To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.To love is to risk not being loved in return.To hope is to risk pain.To try is to risk failure.But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”
