Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.

Paulo Coelho

[tigerambition]

Stay mad, but behave like normal people. Run the risk of being different, but learn to do so without attracting attention.

Paulo Coelho

[tigerambition]

In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. It hurt when I lost each of the various men I fell in love with. Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.

Paulo Coelho

[tigerambition]

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

Paulo Coelho

Passion

"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 They are the engineers of the superseded.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

[tigerambition]

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

Paulo Coelho

[tigerambition]

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

Paulo Coelho

[tigerambition]

When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.

Paulo Coelho

[tigerambition]

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Paulo Coelho

[tigerambition]

Absence is to love as wind is to fire: it extinguishes the little flame, it fans the big.

Umberto Eco

[tigerambition]

The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.

Umberto Eco

[tigerambition]

Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.

Umberto Eco

[tigerambition]

In the United States there's a Puritan ethic and a mythology of success. He who is successful is good. In Latin countries, in Catholic countries, a successful person is a sinner.

Umberto Eco
