Oh please. "If the creator had a purpose in equipping us with a neck, surely he meant for us to stick it out." --Arthur Koestler

And, my favorite, "The trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more." --Erica Jong

If something is worth keeping, you're not going to lose it by going after important things. The idea that you will is a myth perpetuated by fear.
