Some people think they can promise anything, others accept whatever seems to guarantee better days ahead, as, I suspect is your case.

Additional quotes by Paulo Coelho

I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows. I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source, which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. The spring returns, and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.
