Paulo Coelho about Love and Soulmates

1. “So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you”. (The Alchemist)
2. “One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”
3. “Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”
4. “When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” (The Alchemist)

6. “If I am really a part of your dream, you’ll come back one day.”
7. “There is a legend that everything that falls into the waters of this river- leaves, insects, the feathers of birds- is transformed into the rocks that make the riverbed. If only I could tear out my heart and hurl it into the current, then my pain and longing would be over, and I could finally forget.” (By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept)
8. “No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.”
