“I am not a foreigner because I haven’t been praying to return safely home. I haven’t wasted my time imagining my house, my desk, my side of the bed. I am not a foreigner because we are all traveling, we are all full of the same questions, the same tiredness, the same fears, the same selfishness, and the same generosity. I am not a foreigner because when I asked, I received. When I knocked, the door opened. When I looked, I found.” – Paulo Coelho, Aleph

“You are what you believe yourself to be. Don’t be like those people who believe in positive thinking and tell themselves that they’re loved and strong and capable. You don’t need to do that, because you know it already. And when you doubt it — which happens, i think, quite often at this stage of evolution — do as i suggested. Instead of trying to prove that you’re better than what you think, just laugh. Laugh at your worries and insecurities. View your anxieties with humor. It will be difficult at first, but you’ll gradually get used to it.” – Paulo Coelho, The Witch Of Portobello.

“The happier people can be, the unhappier they are.” – Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides To Die
