35. The Devil and Miss Prym, Paulo Coelho

"It was all a matter of (self) control. And choice. Nothing more and nothing less."

34. The Bride Stripped Bare, Anonymous

"A resolution, in mid-August. You have no move beyond this mewly time, all whingy and wrong, you have to haul yourself our. A resolution that some of the momentous issues in a relationship can in the end nly be ignored if you want the relationship to survive, they can't be worked through and tossed out. Which is why, perhaps, some people in long-term partnerships have learnt to live with what they don't like. To reclaim the calm. You've seen it marriages that've weathered infidelity, have seen them contract into a tightness in old age. Do you want the relationship to survive? It's easier to stay than to go."

33. The Fifth Mountain, Paulo Coelho

"That man must chose - not accept his fate"

"Every man hath the right to doubt his task and forsake it from time to time. But what he must not do is forget it. Whoever doubteth not himself is unworthy - for in his unquestioning belief in his ability, he commiteth the sin of pride. Blessed are they who go through moments of indecision"

"They merely wait for time to pass. They did not accept the challenges of life, so life no longer challenge them. .... Dont stop living."

"Courage, is fear with prayer"

32. Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller

"There is something perserve about women... they are all masochist at heart"

"But what is it that you want of a woman, then?" I demand.

"...I want to be able to surrender myself to a woman. I want her to take me out of my self. But to do that, she's got to be better than I am; she's got to have a mind, not just a cunt. She's got to make me believe that I need her, that I can't live without her... If she could only make me believe that there was something more important on earth than my self."
