When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.... - Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon."

"Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey."

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."

"I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now."

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."
