livet enligt linn

To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. To love is to risk not being loved in return.

But risks must be taken. Those who risk nothing do nothing, have nothing, and are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves, they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free.
