It costs so much to be a full human being that there are very few who have the love and courage to pay the price. One has to abandon altogether the search for security and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to embrace life like a lover.
The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963)- Morris WestWhy I like this quote: It captures some of the passion and exuberance and fearlessness I feel about life, so often rejected by a culture obsessed with security and safety even at the cost of freedom and potential. It reminds me that connection is everything, and that embracing all that has been placed in my path is the way to both integrate and understand it.
