Paulo Coelho: Idézetek angolul (oldal 22)

“When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left!”

“No one can manipulate anyone else. In any relationship, both parties know what they're doing. even if one complains later on that they were used.”

“A prayer couched in the words of the soul, is far more powerful than any ritual.”

“I don't see any reason why I should look for someone who never took the trouble to love me.”

“I think that, with age, people come to realize that death is inevitable. And we need to learn to face it with serenity, wisdom and resignation. Death often frees us from a lot of senseless sufferings.”

“The only trap I must beware not to fall into, is to think that each day is the same as the next. In fact, each morning brings with it a hidden miracle, and we must pay attention to this miracle.”

“We are entering a new world in which we can choose to follow our own steps, not those that society forces us to take.”

“All things are manifestations of one thing only.”

“When a sense of dissatisfaction persists, that means it was placed there by God for one reason only: you need to change everything and move forward.”

“Our body remains alive, yet sooner or later our soul will receive a mortal blow. The perfect crime--for we don't know who murdered our joy, what their motives were, or where the guilty parties are to be found.”

“What we see is not always what exists.”

“You have understood what all great painters understand: in order to forget the rules, you must know them and respect them.”

“At this moment, many people have stopped living. They do not become angry, nor cry out; they merely wait for time to pass. They did not accept the challenges of life, so life no longer challenges them”

“Believe that if Allah wants you to know something, someone will tell you.”

“What is I? It's what you are, not what others make of you.”

“Although I have the colors, only the Lord can mix them with such harmony.”

“You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't a true love.. the love that speaks the language of the world.”

“Success is both an addiction and an enslavement…”

“we’re allowed to make a lot of mistakes in our lives, except the mistake that destroy us”
