Paulo Coelho Quote

The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

Ernest Hemingway

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

A lot of people like to do certain things, but they're not that good at it. Keep going through the things that you like to do, until you find something that you actually seem to be extremely good at. It can be anything.

George Lucas

I'm happy being myself, which I've never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn't have those things in mine.

Angelina Jolie

I believe that you should gravitate to people who are doing productive and positive things with their lives.

Nadia Comaneci

When we first shot it, something very, very weird happened, and it's a good example of how things work intuitively or are improvised.

Atom Egoyan

When a man bleeds inwardly, it is a dangerous thing for himself; but when he laughs inwardly, it bodes no good to other people.

Charles Dickens

The Russian people get so insanely close to each other as friends. Their lives are interrelated so much on an everyday basis.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.

Robert Frost

• Society

And above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning.

Isaac Asimov

• Self-discovery
• Belief

The most damage I did was to myself and to the people who got caught in the maelstrom. The worst thing that happened was the overdose. But I didn't go in with three other dudes who overdosed with me. No, you overdose alone.

Charlie Sheen

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
