“Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called 'the madness of saintliness'. They have been joyful - because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.”
― Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

“And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon.”
― Edward Lear, The Owl and the Pussycat

“If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.”
― Paulo Coelho

“Curiouser and curiouser!”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
