Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."

"Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth."

"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."

"So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you."
