It’s not the first time I’ve come across this quote by American writer and journalist Ernest Hemingway, but today when I read it, it hit true, so I thought I’d share it:

“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.”
