Love appears and says: You think you're heading towards a specific point, but the whole justification for the goal's existence lies in your love for it.

All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves.
Paulo Coelho
