Paulo Coelho

We are what we do, and not what we think we must do.

We may not know what we want, but we must know what we don’t want.

We must get rid of the idea of fulfilling what people expect us to do, and start to do what we expect from our lives.

What makes life interesting are the challenges we face.

When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.

Paulo Coelho

When everything seems to be going well and your dream is almost within your gasp, that is when you must be more alert than ever.

Paulo Coelho

When love is not total madness, it is not love. I am not saying that madness is love. But a good, true, intense love is not complete without madness.
