    Paulo Coelho
    “But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.

    The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.”
    Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

    I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”
    Caitlyn Siehl, Literary Sexts: A Collection of Short & Sexy Love Poems

    Elizabeth Gilbert
    “In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.”
    Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
    “Please-tame me!' he said.

    'I want to, very much,' the little prince replied. 'But I have not much time. I have friends to discover, and a great many things to understand.'

    'One only understands the things that one tames,' said the fox. 'Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me.'

    'What must I do, to tame you?' asked the little prince.

    'You must be very patient,' replied the fox. 'First you will sit down at a little distance from me-like that-in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day...”

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
    “It would have been better to come back at the same hour,” said the fox. “If, for example, you came at four o’clock in the afternoon, then at three o’clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o’clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you . . . One must observe the proper rites . . .”
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
    “You see the wheat fields over there? I don't eat bread. For me, wheat is of no use whatever. Wheat fields say nothing to me. Which is sad. But you have hair the color of gold. So it will be wonderful, once you've tamed me! The wheat, which is golden, will remind me of you. And I'll love the sound of the wind in the wheat...”
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
