“Beware when making a woman cry. God is counting her tears.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery

“Today I am a woman torn between the terror that everything might change and the equal terror that everything might carry on exactly the same for the rest of my days.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery

“Love isn't just a feeling. It's an art. And like any art, it takes not only inspiration but also a lot of work.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery

“YOU don’t choose your life; it chooses you. There’s no point asking why life has reserved certain joys or griefs, you just accept them and carry on.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery

“Men cheat because it’s in their genetic code. A woman does it because she doesn’t have enough
dignity; in addition to handing over her body, she always ends up handing over a bit of her heart. A
true crime. A theft. It’s worse than robbing a bank, because if one day she is discovered (and she
always is), she will cause irreparable damage to her family.
For men it is just a “stupid mistake.” For women, it feels like a spiritual crime against all those
who surround her with affection and support her as a mother and wife.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery

“It isn’t love (or is it?), but that doesn’t matter. My love belongs to me and I’m free to offer it to whomever I choose, even if it’s unrequited. Of course, it would be great if it were requited, but if not, who cares.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery
