Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
Paulo Coelho

When two people fall in love, past and future disappear.
Paulo Coelho

We are here because we are made by God, we will return to God. So people who think that they are something, they are totally wrong.

Paulo Coelho

I believe everything is one thing only. That said, there are some questions in my life that I don't know.. I've stopped asking. At the very beginning of my life, I wanted to have answers for everything. And now I respect the fact that I can't have answers for everything.
Paulo Coelho

In the cycle of nature there is no such thing as victory or defeat there is only movement.

Oddly enough I never used to suffer from depression on cold, gray, cloudy days like this. I feel as if nature is in harmony with me, that it reflected my soul.

It was all a matter of control. And Choice. Nothing more, nothing less
Paulo Coelho
