Soliloquy
from the Grandmaster
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose
feelings is to risk exposing
your true
self
To place your
ideas, your
dreams, before the world is to risk loss
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
But to risk we must
Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing
The man, the woman, who risks nothing
does nothing
has nothing
is nothing.
Grandmaster
Caprio
