Vulnerability Quotes - page 2

Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.' (Ashton Kutcher)

Resistance to deciding the next action (before we have to) stems from how it exposes the vulnerability of our intelligence. View quote
David Allen (author)
The student of culture is concerned with a characteristic which man displays more markedly than any other known creature - the ability to transmit what he has learned. In following the procedure I suggest, the learning of Homo sapiens would be treated as a further specialization of the concept of grades, with the recognition that in some species - possibly even in some orders - the ability to learn may represent not only an improvement, in an evolutionary sense, but also an increase in vulnerability. Man's unique, high ability to learn, coupled as it is with a small amount of built-in behavior, represents such a vulnerability. View quote
Margaret Mead
