Intense, unexpected suffering passes more quickly than suffering that is apparently bearable; the latter goes on for years and, without our noticing, eats away at our souls, until, one day, we are no longer able to free ourselves from the bitterness and it stays with us for the rest of our lives.
Paulo CoelhoAnyone who tries to imprison love will cut off the spring that feeds it, and the trapped water will grow stagnant and rank.
