Paulo Coelho Quotes

This was not a man who wanted to give up his mate. This was a man trying to do the honorable thing—and give her a choice, no matter hiw much it cost him.

You've never been in love," she said. "You don't understand." "If being in love means giving up your freedom, not to mention your opportunities," Caitlin said, "Then I haven't missed anything.

Fidelity is a gift not a requirement.

Choose your love, Love your choice.

Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.

I have a lady, she's a great lady. I love her a lot, she loves me. We're on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we're not on the same page we'll move forward with it. We're interested in having our lives be our lives right now and not a third person's vis-a-vis marriage and whatever that means.

I think marriage is all about timing.

Would I marry again? No. But never say never. Why marry? It's a beautiful fortress, but I don't need it.

Love should be an inspiration, not an obligation.

I will forever be touched by anybody who has a choice to love someone, and they make a decision to.

When you're independent, you're with somebody because you want to be there not because you feel like you have to be there.

We do not always like the people we love- we do not always have that choice.

I would give up everything for you, Giulia" I smiled at him gently. "But you must understand. I should never want a man to give up anything for me. I should want him to feel in winning me he has won the whole world.

I don't know. I just want you with me. I had never said those words aloud. Now that I could taste my freedom I wanted him to share it with me. But he couldn't change his life for me. And I couldn't sacrifice my life to be with him

Are you willing to give up what you love, for who you love?

If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay.

If you love someone, then your freedom is curtailed. If you love someone, you give up much of your privacy. If you love someone, then you are no longer merely one person but half of a couple. To think or behave any other way is to risk losing that love.

So, it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? Thirty years from now, forty years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him- go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again, if I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.

There is not love where there is no will.

I love music but, of course, I'd choose love over that.

I am single and not looking to be in a relationship.

I think if two people love each other, they should be able to get married. That's pretty much simple.

People stay married because they want to, not because the doors are locked.

I'm not married, nor do I want to be. I'm the loving kind but not the marrying kind, though I am romantic.
