"Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness
and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart.
Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by
things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea
kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all–look around you.
All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel
love." —Zooey Deschanel
