The world has never been as divided as it is now, what with religious wars, genocides, a lack of respect for the planet, economic crisis, depression, poverty, with everyone wanting instant solutions to at least some of the world's problems or their own. And things only look bleaker as we head into future.

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We learn what we need, Not what we'd want to
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't ask permission. If it does not work, you can apologize later.
Paulo Coelho

Everything depends on which path you take.
Paulo Coelho
Image
This may sound a little bit idealistic, but when I go to my blog, my Facebook page, my Twitter account, I talk to different people from all over the world, and you see how it's easy to establish a dialogue.

You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points.
