I'd rather love fiercely and break totally than never know love.

I'd rather frowns exist than have meaningless smiles.

I'd rather talk less so I can feel more.

I'd rather do less so I can be more.

I'd rather live truth alone than live false with others.

I'd rather search without ever knowing for sure than be given one truth.

I'd rather walk slowly so I can observe that much more of life.

I'd rather thorns exist so the rose means that much more.

I'd rather live vulnerable and free than safe and imprisoned.

I'd rather trust in everything so I can trust in myself.
