-Paulo Coelho (Like the Flowing River)

"If tomatoes wanted to be melons

They would look completely ridiculous

I’m always amazed

That so many people are concerned

With wanting to be what they are not:

What is the point of making yourself look ridiculous?

You don’t always have to pretend that you are strong,

There is no need to prove all the time that everything is going well

You shouldn’t be concerned about what other people are thinking,

Cry if you need to,

It is good to cry out all your tears

(Because only then you will be able to smile again)...

I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory who silently fulfil the role life has given them...."
