“Joy is sometimes a blessing

but it is most often a conquest.

Our magic moments help us to change

and send us off in search of our dreams.

Yes, we are going to suffer along the way,

we will have difficult times,

and we will experience many severe disappointments —

but all of these are transitory and leave no permanent mark.

And one day we will look back with pride

and faith at the journey we have taken.” 

Paulo Coelho, in By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
