Paulo Coelho
We learned in the past, but we are not a result of that. We suffered in the past, loved in the past, cried and laughed in the past, but that's of no use to the present. The present has its challenge, its good and bad sides. We can neither blame nor be grateful to the past for what is happening now. Each new experience of love has nothing whatsoever to do with past experiences. It's always new.
