A fall from the third floor hurts as much as a fall from the hundredth. If I have to fall, may it be from a high place.
Paulo CoelhoWhenever he saw the sea, or a fire, he fell silent, impressed by their elemental force.
Paulo CoelhoThere are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.
Paulo CoelhoDon't think about what you’ll tell people afterward. The time is here and now. Make the most of it.
Paulo CoelhoSome people appear to be happy, but they simply don't give the matter much thought. Others make plans: I'm going to have a husband, a home, two children, a house in the country. As long as they're busy doing that, they're like bulls looking for the bullfighter: they react instinctively, they blunder on, with no idea where the target is. They get their car, sometimes they even get a Ferrari, and they think that's the meaning of life, and they never question it. Yet their eyes betray the sadness that even they don't know they carry in their soul. Are you happy?
