"A mladic je dugo ostao sjedeci pored bunara, shvatajuci da mu je jednog dana vetar zapuhnuo lice mirisom te zene i da ju je voleo jos pre nego sto je saznao da ona postoji i da ce ga ta ljuba nadahnuti da pronadje sva blaga ovoga sveta."

"Covek ne voli zato sto zeli da ucini dobro, ili da pomogne, ili da zastiti nekoga. Ako tako postupamo, posmatramo svog bliznjeg kao puki objekat, a sami sebe dozivljavamo kao velikodusne i mudre osobe. To nema nikakve veze s ljubavlju. Voleti znaci ostvariti zajednistvo s drugim i otkriti u njemu bozansku iskru."
— Paulo Coelho

"Ali ne smemo nikad smetnuti s uma da je duhovno iskustvo Ljubavi. A u Ljubavi ne postoje pravila. Mozemo pokusavati da se pridrzavamo prirucnika, da vladamo svojim srcem, da izgradimo strategiju ponasanja-ali sve su to kojestarije. Srce odlucuje, i to sto ono odluci, jedino i vazi."

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
