Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.
Quotations
Paulo Coelho
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
I'm modern because I make the difficult seem easy, and so I can communicate with the whole world.
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
The wise are wise only because they love. Fools are fools only because they think they can understand love.
I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.
