― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym

“In the midst of life, we are in death.”

“... I'll always have something that not even time can take away. Pain. ...because when I've forgotten everything else, I'll feel that ache... that tightness in my throat... that heaviness in my chest... and know that I loved a woman once and she loved me back. It's proof that I existed and so did she.”
― Samantha Sotto, Before Ever After
