I donโt live in either my past or my future. Iโm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, youโll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment weโre living now.
Paulo CoelhoLove is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.
Paulo CoelhoAlthough I have been through all that I have, I do not regret the many hardships I met, because it was they who brought me to the place I wished to reach.
Paulo CoelhoBeauty is present in all creation, but the danger lies in the fact that we allow ourselves to be influenced by what people think. We deny our own beauty because others can't or won't recognize it. We try to imitate what we see around us. We try to be what other people think of as 'pretty' & little by little, our soul fades. We forget the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.
