No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
Quotations
Paulo Coelho
Don’t confuse the teacher with the lesson, the ritual with the ecstasy, the transmitter of the symbol with the symbol itself.
The wise are wise only because they love. Fools are fools only because they think they can understand love.
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
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.
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
I'm modern because I make the difficult seem easy, and so I can communicate with the whole world.
