"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!

More quotes by Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

"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 I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself."
"Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free."
"The strongest love is the love that can demonstrate its fragility."
"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."
