It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death. ✨ Eleanor Roosevelt, David Emblidge (2009). My Day: The Best of Eleanor Roosevelt's Acclaimed Newspaper Columns, 1936-1962, p.36, Da Capo Press
