Paulo Coelho

The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing beauty of life once more. It's happened before, it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive--I'll find love again.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

When you were in love, you were capable of learning everything and of knowing things you had never dared even to think, because love was the key to understanding all of the mysteries.

You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say.

I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.

Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.

Life is short. Kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly

I don't regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears

She didn't need to understand the meaning of life; it was enough to find someone who did, and then fall asleep in his arms and sleep as a child sleeps, knowing that someone stronger than you is protecting you from all evil and all danger

Travel is never a matter of money but of courage

In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.

God only allows us to see such things when he wants something to change

No, I'm not mistaken. I know you don't love me. But I'm going to fight for your love. There are some things in life that are worth fighting for to the end. You are worth it.

Because I don't live in either my past or my future.I'm interested only in the present.

Collective madness is called sanity ..

Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.

Finding one important thing in your life doesn’t mean you have togive up all the other important things.
