I was looking for a quote to post to make a point to some of the negative people in my life, and I came across Paulo Coelho quotes. I love his books, so far I have read:
The Witch of Portobello
The Devil and Miss Prym
Vernoika Decides to Die
Eleven Minutes
The Alchemist
By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
Brida
here are a few quotes I cam across that I love:
“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”
― The Alchemist
“So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.”
(very true)
― The Alchemist
“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
― The Alchemist
“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.”
“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows
only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you
are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only
path.”
“When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole
universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is
nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only
minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes
from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.”
- Eleven Minutes
“I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer
in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.”
- Eleven Minutes
“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines
should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the
whole bottle.”
-Brida
“Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.”
