The soul loves all things beautiful and deep.
Paulo Coelho

Image
... I simply accept that technology is stronger and more powerful than me: it works when it wants to, and when it doesn't its best to go for a walk, and just wait until the cables and telephone links are in a better mood and the computer decides to work again. I am not, I have discovered, my computers master: it has a life of its own.

A Warrior of the Light cannot always choose his battlefield.
Paulo Coelho

When we're interested in something, everything around us appears to refer to it (the mystics call these phenomena signs, the sceptics coincidence, and psychologists concentrated focus, although I've yet to find out what term historians should use).
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don’t allow your wounds to transform you into someone you are not.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Come on, let's go. Crazy people do crazy things.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Fortunate are those who take the first step. Someday people will realize that men and women are capable of speaking the language of the angels - that all of us are possessed of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that we can perform miracles, cure, prophesy, and understand.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't see any reason why I should look for someone who never took the trouble to love me.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Lord, bless our week. Help us to take all the necessary risks to become the person we always wanted to be.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you must choose a new path, do not bring old experiences with you. Those who strike out afresh, but who attempt to retain a little of the old life, end up torn apart by their own memories.
Paulo Coelho
Image
My aim is to understand love. I know how alive I felt when I was in love, and I know that everything I have now, however interesting it might seem, doesn't really excited me.
Paulo Coelho
