Paulo Coelho Quote

There is a name for that pebble: passion. It can be usedto describe the beauty of an earth-shaking meeting between two people, but it isn't just that.It's there in the excitement of the unexpected, in the desire to do something with realfervour, in the certainty that one is going to realise a dream. Passion sends us signals thatguide us through our lives, and it's up to me to interpret those signs.I would like to believe that I'm in love. Withsomeone I don't know and who didn't figure in my plans atall. All these months of self-control, of denying love, have had exactly the opposite result: Ihave let myself be swept away by the first person to treat me a little differently.
