Paulo Coelho. Brida (№ 5541)

But there was something else that he never said and she never would have discovered: that she, with her affection and pleasure, was responsible for the fact that he again found the meaning of life. What love this woman pushed him to the most remote places of the earth, because he had to be rich enough to buy a house and live with her in peace the rest of his days. That is huge confidence in this fragile creature, whose soul is now fading, forcing him to fight fair, because he knew that after the battle he could forget the horrors of war in her arms. It was his refuge, although all women in the world. The only place where he could close his eyes and sleep like a baby.
