    Bob Marley
    “You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
    ― Bob Marley

    Trenton Lee Stewart
    “The answer to this riddle has a hole in the middle,
    And some have been known to fall in it.
    In tennis it's nothing, but it can be received,
    And sometimes a person may win it.
    Though not seen or heard it may be perceived,
    Like princes or bees it's in clover.
    The answer to this riddle has a hole in the middle,
    And without it one cannot start over.”

    Paulo Coelho
    “Ester asked why people are sad.
    "That’s simple," says the old man. "They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
    ― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir
