The Warrior of the Light knows that everyone is afraid of everyone else.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Haven't you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem
Paulo Coelho
Image
To attain his dream, the warrior of light needs a strong will and an enormous capacity for acceptance.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
The world has never been as divided as it is now, what with religious wars, genocides, a lack of respect for the planet, economic crisis, depression, poverty, with everyone wanting instant solutions to at least some of the world's problems or their own. And things only look bleaker as we head into future.
Paulo Coelho
Image
For those that were never wounded by love, they will never be able to say: “I lived”. Because they haven’t.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't forget: Beautiful sunsets need cloudy Skies.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others ad fight for your rights.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You have a personal legend to fulfil, period. It is of no matter if others support you, or criticise you, ignore or tolerate you. You are doing that because that is your destiny on this earth, and the source of any joy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is what dreams are made of!
Paulo Coelho
