“I start to think that I'm losing the love I have without having yet won the love I hope to win.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“I've noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down, but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“What do you want? You can't want to be happy, because that's too easy and too boring. You can't want only to love, because that's impossible. What do you want? You want to justify your life, to live it as intensely as possible. That is at once a trap and a source of ecstasy. Try to be alert to that danger and experience the joy and the adventure of being that woman who is beyond the image reflected in the mirror.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“People no longer try to decipher the mystery of life but choose instead to be a part of it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello
