-- Paulo Coelho

“Music has always been a part of me and art in general. I love visual art as well.”
“A young man's ambition is to get along in the world and make a place for himself-half your life goes that way, till you're 45 or 50. Then, if you're lucky, you make terms with life, you get released.”
“It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.”
“I failed eating, failed drinking, failed not cutting myself into shreds. Failed friendship. Failed sisterhood and daughterhood. Failed mirrors and scales and phone calls. Good thing I'm stable.”
“Well, you missed out on some important protocol, Ella. You can't stand between a Texan and his power tools. We like them. Big ones that drain the national grid. We also like truck-stop breakfasts, large moving objects, Monday night football, and the missionary position. We don't drink light beer, drive Smart cars, or admit to knowing the names of more than about five or six colors. And we don't wax our chests, ever.”
“I have sung in hobo jungles, and I have sung for the Rockefellers, and I am proud that I have never refused to sing for anybody.”
“Money is the barometer of a society's virtue.”
“Is it to be thought unreasonable that the people, in atonement for wrongs of a century, demand the vengeance of a single day?”
