We always break according to ourselves, according to the lines of fracture and division that are ours. It is an internal possibility, it is properly ours.
Jean-Louis Chrétien, Fragility

fragile and vulnerable 

an inventory of the state of things, of people, of the world
we have to make do, to get by
it is sensitive, and full of possibilities

fragility

fragile: that which shatters, that which breaks easily
vulnerable: that which can be wounded, struck by an organic or psychic ailment

childhood contains the seeds of everything that makes a man a man, particularly his fragility

there is a break in objects and in being, because there is a fault line that precedes the break

one can be fragile without being weak, just as one can be weak without being fragile

a place where I can fall, but also a place where I can get up again
what falls is obsolete, the possible in the making lifts me up – on another level

Cécile McLorin-Salvant performs “le mal de vivre” de Barbara

la vulnerability

it is not a weakness, it is a strength, a power
at the heart of emotions and feelings, to feel is to be vulnerable

It is uncertainty, openness, risk-taking, as in love.

Brené Brown, The power of vulnerability
