“The important things always stay; what we lose are the things we thought were important, but which were, in fact, useless, like the false power we use to control the energy of love.” – Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

“When you love each other, you have to be ready for anything. Because love is like a kaleidoscope, the kind we used to play with when we were kids. It’s in constant movement and never repeats itself.” – Paulo Coelho, Adultery

“Those who have never been wounded by love can never say: I lived, because they haven’t lived.” – Paulo Coelho, Chronicle: Convention Of Those Wounded In Love

“You succeeded in gaining respect for your work because you did not work only to survive, but to demonstrate your love for others.” – Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found In Accra

“May it always be clear that only True Love can compete with any other Love in this world. When we give everything, we have nothing more to lose. And then fear, jealousy, boredom, and monotony disappear, and all that remains is the light from a void that does not frighten us, but brings us closer to one another. The light that always changes, and that is what makes it beautiful and full of surprises – not always those we hope for, but those we can live with.” – Paulo Coelho, Adultery
