Don't expect your genius to be discovered; do what you must do because it gives you joy. Don't expect your love to be accepted. Love because it justifies your life.
Paulo CoelhoLove is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.
Paulo CoelhoGod created the visible world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom
Paulo Coelhoshe, with her affection and her gaiety, had been largely responsible for him having rediscovered the meaning of life, her love had driven him to the far corners of the Earth, because he needed to be rich enough to buy some land and live in peace with her for the rest of their days. It was his utter confidence in this fragile creature, that had made him fight with honor, because he knew that after a battle he could forget all the horrors of war in her arms, and that, despite all the women he had known, only there in her arms could he close his eyes and sleep like a child.
