More quotes by Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

"Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or--such is the pleasure they experience--they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them."
"I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life."
"When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds."
"Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free."
"No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it"
