Know how to get close to it: mountains are often seen from far off - beautiful, interesting, full of challenges. But what happens when we try to draw closer? Roads run all around them, flowers grow between you and your objective, what seemed so clear on the map is tough in real life. So try all the paths and all the tracks until eventually one day you're standing in front of the top that you yearn to reach.
Paulo CoelhoNo one knows what is going to happen in the next few minutes, and yet people still go forward, because they have trust, because they have faith.
Paulo CoelhoSo you see, Good and Evil have the same face; it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being.
Paulo CoelhoTelling the truth and making someone cry is better than telling a lie and making someone smile.
Paulo CoelhoOther people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.
