Paulo Coelho

A sword may last a short time. But the warrior must endure.

That is why he is not fooled about his own capability, and avoids being taken by surprise. He considers each thing with the importance it deserves.

At times, when faced with grave matters, the devil whispers in his ear: "do not worry about that, it’s not serious."

At others, facing banal things, the demon tells him: "you should devote all your energy to resolve this situation."

The warrior does not listen to what the devil is saying.

He is master of his sword.

I believe that love should never prevent you from reaching your dream, but how does it work if your dream is love? Isn’t love an entity on its own, not under control/ ours to be decided on?

Concerning love - it is the ultimate goal. Our personal legend is merely a path, a way we trace in this world in order to fulfill ourselves. As Saint Paul says in his letter to the Corinthians (13:1) : "If I speak in the languages of humans and angels but have no love, I have become a reverberating gong or a clashing cymbal."
