“I remember asking myself one night, while I was curled up in the same old corner of my same old couch in tears yet again over the same old repetition of sorrowful thoughts, 'Is there ANYTHING about this scene you can change, Liz?' And all I could think to do was stand up, whle still sobbing, and try to balance on one foot in the middle of the living room. Just to prove that - while I couldn't stop the tears or change my dismal interior dialogue - I was not yet totally out of control: at least I could cry hysterically while balanced on one foot.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“Even in the worst tragedies and crisis, there’s no reason to add to everyone’s misery by looking miserable yourself.”

“When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

“Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.

No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.

Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.

Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?

I don't know.”
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

“I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion & adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved. I'm a housewife & a prostitute, both of us living in the same body & doing battle with each other. The meeting of these two women is a game with serious risks. A divine dance. When we meet, we are two divine energies, two universes colliding. If the meeting is not carried out with due reverence, one universe destroys the other.”
― Paulo Coelho

“I wake up each morning wanting to die before the day is out, but I continue to live, suffering and fighting, fighting and suffering, clinging on to that certainty that it will all end one day.”
― Paulo Coelho

“أحبك ، أحبك لان كل أنواع الحب في العالم كالأنهار الدافقة إلى البحيرة نفسها، حيث تلتقي وتتحول إلى حب أوحد يتحول بدوره إلى مطر ويبارك الأرض.
أحبك كنهر يوجد الظروف الملائمة للأشجار والشجيرات والزهر لكي تنمو على ضفتيه. أحبك كنهر يروي ظمأ العطاش وينقل الناس إلى حيث يريدون .
أحبك كنهر يعي أن عليه أن يتعلم كيفية تغيير تدفقه فوق الشلالات والركود في المياة الضحله. أحبك لأننا كلنا مولودون في المكان ذاته، من المنبع ذاته، الذي يزودنا بالماء بلا انقطاع. ولذا، متى شعرنا بالضعف، كل ما علينا فعله هو الانتظار قليلا. يعود الربيع، فتذوب ثلوج الشتاء وتفيض بنا طاقة .
أحبك كنهر يتشكل كل قطرات منفرده في الجبال ويكبر تدريجا وينضم إلى أنهر أخرى، إلى حين يتمكن، بعد مرحلة معينة، من التدفق مجتازا أي حاجز لكي يصل إلى حيث يريد.
أخذ حبك وأعطيك حبي. ليس حب رجل لامرأة، ليس حب والد لولد، ليس حب الله لمخلوقاته، بل حب لا اسم له أو تفسير، كنهر يعجز عن تفسير جريانه في مسار محدد، وإنما يجري قدما ببساطة. حب لا يطلب يأي شيء ولا يُعطي أي شيء في المقابل، إنه موجود فحسب. لن أكون ملكا لك يوما ولن تكوني ملكا لي يوما، لكن ، يمكن لي أن أقول بصراحه : أحبك،أحبك،أحبك”
― Paulo Coelho, Aleph
