More quotes by Paulo Coelho, Like the Flowing River

"Sometimes, we are so attached to our way of life that we turn down wonderful opportunities simply because don't know what to do with it."
"All religions lead to the same God, and all deserve the same respect. Anyone who chooses a religion is also choosing a collective way for worshipping and sharing the mysteries. Nevertheless, that person is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any personal decisions on to that religion."
"When something undesirable grows in my soul, I ask God to give me the courage to mercilessly pluck it out."
