Paulo Coelho Quotes About Habits

• I think the big danger of madness is not madness itself, but the habit of madness. What I discovered during the time I spent in the asylum is that I could choose madness and spend my whole life without working, doing nothing, pretending to be mad. It was a very strong temptation.

  Paulo Coelho

  Strong, Thinking, Mad

• Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.

  Paulo Coelho

  Love, Song, Commitment

• Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back.
  Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.

  Paulo Coelho

  New Beginnings, Needs, Remember

• Going after a dream has a price. It may mean abandoning our habits, it may make us go through hardships, or it may lead us to disappointment, et cetera. But however costly it may be, it is never as high as the price paid by people who didn't live. Because one day they will look back and hear their own heart say: 'I wasted my life.'

  Dream, Disappointment, Heart
