The roller-coaster is my life; life is a fast, dizzying game; life is a parachute jump; it's taking chances, falling over and getting up again; it's mountaineering; it's wanting to get to the very top of yourself and feeling angry and dissatisfied when you don't manage it
("Eleven Minutes")
More Quotes from Paulo Coelho:
If only everyone could know and live with their inner craziness. Would the world be a worse place for it? No, people would be fairer and happier.Paulo Coelho
Many of us are returning from a long journey during which we were forced to search for things that were of no interest to us. Now we realize that they were false. But this return cannot be made without pain, because we have been away for a long time and feel that we are strangers in out own land. It will take some time to find the friends who also left, and the places where our roots and treasures lie. But this will happen.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Love fills everything. It cannot be desired because it is an end in itself. It cannot betray because it has nothing to do with possession. It cannot be held prisoner because it is a river and will overflow its banks. Anyone who tries to imprison love will cut off the spring that feeds it, and the trapped water will grow stagnant.
Paulo Coelho
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
Paulo Coelho
Those who don't understand their personal legends will fail to comprehend its teachings.
