“Lovers need to know how to lose themselves and then how to find themselves again.”

“We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen”

“Joy is sometimes a blessing, but is often a conquest. Our magic moment helps us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer… but all of this is transitory… and one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.”

“But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come to spiritual experience.”

“To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the speak of god.”

“Perseverance is favorable”
