Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.
Ernest Hemingway

Take a risk, walk on the edge, be bold, before you no longer can.

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

Pablo Neruda, Sonnet XVII (via hercautionarytales)
