“The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”
― Paulo Coelho

“I like thinking that I'd be worth the trouble of something like that," she confesses quietly. Her shoulder shrugs up to her ear. "I like thinking that it doesn't need to be fancy to be special. Maybe... maybe they'd remember I like fountain soda best or daisies instead of roses. Little things that'd let me know they've been paying attention." Her eyes lift back to mine. That twist in my chest again, sharper this time. "I like that. Thinking that I'm worth paying attention to. Something ordinary made extraordinary by the person you're sharing it with.”
― B.K. Borison, First-Time Caller
