More quotes by Paulo Coelho
When we're focused on what we want, things begin to slot perfectly into place.
Paulo Coelho
I kissed him hard. The few people in the bar must have been thinking that all they were seeing was just a kiss. They didn't know that this kiss stood for my whole life - and his life, as well. The life of anyone who has waited, dreamed, and searched for their true path. The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.
Paulo Coelho
When every day seems the same, it is because we have stopped noticing the good things that appear in our lives.
Paulo Coelho
I think it is a problem of our society that we don't enjoy (ourselves.) We have these values, like, you have to be rich, you have to get a diploma, you have to work hard, otherwise you are useless, you are nothing but a pariah. And the book asks, 'Is it true? This is what my mom told me, but is it true?
Paulo Coelho
This is the first teaching of the Knights: You will erase everything you had written in the book of your life up until now: restlessness, uncertainty, lies. And in the place of all this you will write the word courage.
Paulo Coelho
The important thing is to keep the fire in your heart and be strong to overcome hard moments.
Paulo Coelho
First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.
Paulo Coelho
But human beings are like that, she thought. We've replaced nearly all our emotions with fear.
Paulo Coelho
Fairy tales had been her first experience of the magical universe, and more than once she had wondered why people ended up distancing themselves from that world, knowing the immense joy that childhood had brought to their lives.
Paulo Coelho
If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it
Paulo Coelho
Changes happen when we go against everything we're used to doing.
Paulo Coelho
People no longer try to decipher the mystery of life but choose instead to be a part of it.
Paulo Coelho
He is now walking from his dream.
Paulo Coelho
To injure your opponent is to injure yourself.
Paulo Coelho
God judges a tree by its fruits and not by its roots.
Paulo Coelho
Well, to find, not the meaning of life because I believe in mysteries, I believe that there is a mystery that goes far beyond our understanding.
Paulo Coelho
I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first instant we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling us otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings.
Paulo Coelho
It is not necessary to move mountains in order to prove one's faith.
Paulo Coelho
If something happens once, it may never happen again. If it happens twice it most likely will keep happening.
Paulo Coelho
I don't know what to do. I only know that it's taken me years to understand that life was pushing me in a direction I didn't want to go in.
Paulo Coelho
