Fortunate are those who take the first steps. - Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

"Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering."

"Go and get your things,' he said. 'Dreams mean work."

"If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him."

"Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots keeping itself alive."

"If I must fall, may it be from a high place."
