Quoted from The Pilgrimage, Paulo Coelho:
…… It is the pleasure of searching and the pleasure of an adventure. You are nourishing something that's very important - your dreams.
…… Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, ….. Who was in the right or who knew the truth does not matter; what's important is knowing that both sides were fighting a good fight.
……
“The good fight is the one that's fought in the name of our dreams. When we're young and our dreams first explode inside us with all of their force, we are very courageous, but we haven't yet learned how to fight. With great effort, we learned how to fight, but by then we no longer have the courage to go into combat. So we turn against ourselves and do battle within. We become our own enemy. We say that our dreams were childish, or too difficult to realize, or the result of our not having known enough about life. We kill our dreams because we are afraid to fight the good fight.”
