| 4c26ef5 | But why all these questions? Because I'm in love and I'm afraid of suffering. Don't be afraid, the only way to avoid that suffering would be to refuse to love. | pain suffering | Paulo Coelho | |

| 527875b | Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, and there is nothing new under the sun, as Solomon said more than three thousand years ago. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| be89102 | A writer always wears glasses and never combs his hair. Half the time he feels angry about everything and the other half depressed. He spends most of his life in bars, arguing with other dishevelled, bespectacled writers. He says very 'deep' things. He always has amazing ideas for the plot of his next novel, and hates the one he has just published. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| fbcf91f | Rarely do we realize that we are in the midst of the extraordinary. Miracles occur all around us, signs from God show us the way, angels plead to be heard, but we pay little attention to them because we have been taught that we must follow certain formulas and rules if we want to find God. We do not realize that God is wherever we allow Him/Her to enter. | faith god hope miracles | Paulo Coelho | |
| b07ca88 | Normality is merely a matter of consensus; that is, a lot of people think something is right, and so that thing becomes right. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 8062a80 | Once someone asked me, "What do you want to be your epitaph?" So I said, "Paulo Coelho died when he was alive." | humanity life philosophy | Paulo Coelho | |
| 9159cb3 | When we want something, we have to have a clear purpose in mind for the thing that we want. The only reason for seeking a reward is to know what to do with that reward | targets wisdom | Paulo Coelho | |
| eafec55 | The universe always helps us fight for our dreams, no matter how foolish they may be. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 2b45e86 | But if you've ever felt love, you'll know how painful it is to suffer for love. | love | Paulo Coelho | |
| 9b19759 | Everyday was another day spent waiting. Every night was another night when she might meet someone who would recognize her true worth. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 402781d | Traditional religions practices are important.They allow us to share with others the communal experience of adoration and prayer,but we must never forget spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love,and with love,there are no rules some may try to control their emotions and develop strategies for their behavior,others may turn to reading books of advice from "experts" on relationships but this is all folly.The heart deci.. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 7c334ee | How's the water?" asked her father. "It's lovely," she replided. "Right, from now on, whenever you want to find out about something, plunge straight in." | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 039c784 | Our task is not to leave a record of what happened on this date for those who will inherit the Earth; history will take care of that. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 7ba3361 | The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| f197b51 | He never realized that people are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dreamed of. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 288c96a | Love your enemy. But don't forget he is not your friend. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 37e360d | I heard other people speaking in the name of freedom, and the more they defended this unique right, the more enslaved they seemed to be to their parents' wishes, to a marriage in which they had promised to stay with the other person "for the rest of their lives", to the bathroom scales, to their diet, to half-finished projects, to lovers to whom they were incapable of saying "no" or "it's over", to weekends when they were obliged to have lu.. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 1db608d | Zahir, in Arabic, means visible, present, incapable of going unnoticed. It is someone or something which, once we have come into contact with them or it, gradually occupies our every thought, until we can think of nothing else. This can be considered either a state of holiness or of madness. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 1fc7b76 | Why do so many people chose to spend their whole life destroying paths they didn't even want to follow, instead of following the one path that would lead them somewhere. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 6b7575b | Beauty is present in all creation, but the danger lies in the fact that we allow ourselves to be influenced by what people think. We deny our own beauty because others can't or won't recognize it. We try to imitate what we see around us. We try to be what other people think of as 'pretty' & little by little, our soul fades. We forget the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecti.. | Paulo Coelho | ||

| 9378369 | All of us have had this experience. At some point, we have each said through our tears, "I'm suffering for a love that's not worth it." We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules. But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we co.. | suffering unrequited-love | Paulo Coelho | |

| f9a9b12 | Up home we wear a hat like that to shoot deer in, for Chrissake," he said. "That's a deer shooting hat." "Like hell it is." I took it off and looked at it. I sort of closed one eye, like I was taking aim at it. "This is a people shooting hat," I said. "I shoot people in this hat." | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 7e79b4b | That's the whole trouble. You can't even find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose." | J.D. Salinger | ||
| d33c4db | It happens to be one of those days when I see everybody in the family, including myself, through the wrong end of a telescope. | page-58 | J.D. Salinger | |
| 538ac58 | It was just terrible! And the worst part was, I knew what a bore I was being, I knew how I was depressing people, or even hurting their feelings- but I just couldn't stop! I just could not stop picking! | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 02c69d0 | Everything everybody does is so - I don't know - not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and - sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much as everybody else, only in a different way. | jd-salinger | J.D. Salinger | |
| 6485363 | He and his wife loved each other and brought each other daily pain. Everything else he was doing in his life, even his longing for Lalitha, amounted to little more than flight from circumstance. He and Patty couldn't live together and couldn't imagine living apart. Each time he thought they'd reached the unbearable breaking point, it turned out that there was still further they could go without breaking. | Jonathan Franzen | ||
| bf94eed | Katz had read extensively in popular sociobiology, and his understanding of the depressive personality type and its seemingly perverse persistence in the human gene pool was that depression was successful adaptation to ceaseless pain and hardship. Pessimism, feelings of worthlessness and lack of entitlement, inability to derive satisfaction from pleasure, a tormenting awareness of the world's general crappiness: for Katz Jewish paternal for.. | Jonathan Franzen | ||
| 6138369 | The simple fact of the matter is that trying to be perfectly likable is incompatible with loving relationships. Sooner or later, for example, you're going to find yourself in a hideous, screaming fight, and you'll hear coming out of your mouth things that you yourself don't like at all, things that shatter your self-image as a fair, kind, cool, attractive, in-control, funny, likable person. Something realer than likability has come out in y.. | Jonathan Franzen | ||

| b520626 | It was generally agreed that a coffin-size studio on Avenue D was preferable to living in one of the boroughs. Moving from one Brooklyn or Staten Island neighborhood to another was fine, but unless you had children to think about, even the homeless saw it as a step down to leave Manhattan. Customers quitting the island for Astoria or Cobble Hill would claim to welcome the change of pace, saying it would be nice to finally have a garden or l.. | new-york-city | David Sedaris | |
