Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn`t what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.

We humans have two great problems: the first is knowing when to begin; the second is knowing when to stop.

Often it is easier to love than to be loved. Our attempts to appear independent deprive others of the opportunity to demonstrate their love.

We must fight for our dreams, and concentrate our efforts to that end. But we must not forget that life is made up of small pleasures. They were placed here to encourage us.

It`s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.

Ever since time began, people have recognized their true Love by the light in their eyes.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.

Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.

Lessons always arrive when you are ready, and if you can read the signs, you will learn everything you need to know in order to take the next step.

At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what`s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That`s the world`s greatest lie.
