Paulo Coelho, Maktub

"We have been moving along at such a fast pace that we no longer know what we are doing. Now we have to wait until our soul catches up with us."

"Negative desires can cause no evil if you do not allow yourself to be seduced by them."

"So long as you do no harm to another, change your opinion once in a while. Contradict yourself without being embarrassed. This is your right. It doesn't matter what others think -because that's what they will think, in any case."
