Wounded in love

In all definitive wounds, also known as “breaking up”, the only medicine capable of having an effect is called Time। It is no use seeking consolation from fortune-tellers (who always say that the lost lover will return), romantic books (which always have a happy ending), soap-operas on the television or other such things. One should suffer intensely, completely avoiding drugs, tranquilizers and praying to saints. Alcohol is only tolerated if kept to a maximum of two glasses of wine a day.

~Paulo Coelho
