Quote by Paulo Coelho

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

Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what

Summary

This quote suggests that love cannot be defined by societal expectations or obligations. It implies that love exists independently of any external factors, such as habits or commitments. It challenges the notion that love is something that can be understood or confined within the limits set by romantic songs or societal norms. Love is seen as a natural and inherent feeling that cannot be categorized or limited by human constructs, but rather exists in its purest form.

I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen

I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.
