Paulo Coelho's Quotes of the Day #11

God is God. He is everything that exists under the sun- the lightning bolt that destroys a house, and the hand of man that rebuilds it. The meaning of my life is whatever I wanted it to be

"One has only to accept a simple fact: Love --of God and of others-- shows us the way. If what we want to do is heal ourselves first so that then we can go in search of our dreams, we will never reach paradise. If, on the other hand we accept all that is wrong about us --and despite it, believe that we are deserving of a happy life-- then we will have thrown open an immense window that will allow Love to enter. Little by little, our defects will disappear, because one who is happy can look at the world only with love --the force that regenerates everything that exists in the Universe." --P. Coelho's The Valkyries
