“That is what marks out a warrior: the knowledge that willpower and courage are not the same thing. Courage can attract fear and adulation, but willpower requires patience and commitment.”
― Paulo Coelho, Aleph

“Don't be intimidated by other people's opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do. Seek out people who aren't afraid of making mistakes and who, therefore, do make mistakes.”
― Paulo Coelho, Aleph

“Is it possible to fix love and make it stand still in time? Well, we can try, but that would turn our lives into a hell. I haven't been married for more than 20 years to the same person, because neither she nor I have remained the same. That's why our relationship is more alive than ever. I don't expect her to behave as she did when we first met. Nor does she want me to be the person I was when I found her. Love is beyond time, or, rather, love is both time and space, but all focused on one single constantly evolving point -- the Aleph.”
― Paulo Coelho, Aleph

“In magic - and in life - there is only the present moment, the now. You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between 2 points. 'Time' doesn't pass.”
― Paulo Coelho, Aleph
