"Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere." ― Paulo Coelho Topic(s): Love More From Paulo Coelho "You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen." "I’d have stopped writing years ago if it were for the money." "Beauty is the greatest seducer of man." More In Love "We perceive when love begins and when it declines by our embarrassment when alone together."― Jean de la Bruyere "Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they’re alive and human."― Albert Ellis "If we judge love by most of its effects, it resembles rather hatred than affection."― Francois de La Rochefoucauld
