Paulo Coelho II

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.

In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.

Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.

Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or--such is the pleasure they experience--they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.
