“It’s fun to be hopelessly in love. It’s dangerous, but it’s fun.”
Keanu Reeves (1964) Canadian actor, director, producer and musician
“In fact, safety has no place anywhere. Everything that's fun in life is dangerous. Horse races, for instance, are very dangerous. But attempt to design a safe horse and the result is a cow (an appalling animal to watch at the trotters.) And everything that isn't fun is dangerous too. It is impossible to be alive and safe.”
Republican Party Reptile (1987)

Context: … but love, like all art, as Oscar said, it's quite useless. It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe but not worth bothering with.
“Danger plus survival equals fun.
