God is the same, even though He has a thousand names; it is... - Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

"Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows."

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

"We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation."

"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."

"In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the pricesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs."
