Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts - and getting rid of certain memories also means mak...

None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us. What has passed will not return: we cannot for ever be children, late adolescents, sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention of coming back. — Paulo Coelho
