Sayings in Swedish and English and Leijaish

Karin Boye (1900 - 1941) said in Swedish "Nog finns det mål och mening i vår färd - men det är vägen, som är mödan värd". This was very revolutionary in the early 1900's, but is easily translated to daily life and poets of today. Paolo Coelho (1947- ) actually translated the meaning when he said "It's the journey not the destination that counts".

My life is a wonderful journey and I do not care about the destination, as long as I am happy when I arrive.



PS. Paolo Coelho's blog is well worth a visit
