    "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.

    Paulo Coelho (Eleven Minutes: A Novel)

    Paulo Coelho (Eleven Minutes: A Novel)


  • Paulo Coelho
    "Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.

    No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.

    Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.

    Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?

    I don't know."
    Paulo Coelho (Eleven Minutes: A Novel)


  • Paulo Coelho
    "This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you."
    Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)


  • Paulo Coelho
    "Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?"
    Paulo Coelho (Eleven Minutes: A Novel)


  • Paulo Coelho
    "Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly."
    Paulo Coelho


  • Paulo Coelho
    "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."
    Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)


  • Paulo Coelho
    "Mencintai adalah melebur dengan orang yang kita cintai dan menemukan percikan Tuhan di dalam dirinya."

  • Dalai Lama XIV
    "The Dalai Lama's Instructions for life:

    Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

    When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

    Follow the three R's:
    - Respect for self.
    - Respect for others.
    - Responsibility for all your actions.

    Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

    Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

    Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

    When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

    Spend some time alone everyday.

    Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

    Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

    Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

    A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

    In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

    Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

    Be gentle with the earth.

    Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

    Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

    Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

    Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon."
