Quote by Jeanette Winterson

Your weak point is the open, vulnerable place where you can always be hurt. Love, in all its aspects, opens the self so fully.

Your weak point is the open, vulnerable place where you can

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that our vulnerabilities and weaknesses are most evident when we open ourselves up to love. Love requires us to expose our true selves, making us susceptible to pain and hurt. It emphasizes that the power of love lies in its ability to completely open us, leaving us emotionally defenseless. Whether it is romantic love, familial love, or platonic love, all forms of love have the potential to leave us vulnerable to emotional injury. However, it is precisely this vulnerability that allows us to experience the profundity and transformative power of love.
