Quote

In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.

There is an afterlife. I am convinced of this.
Paulo Coelho
Image
She [the Virgin Mary] was normal. She had already had other children. The Bible tells us that Jesus had two brothers. Virginity, as it relates to Jesus, is based on a different thing: Mary initiated a new generation of grace. A new era began. She is the cosmic bride, Earth, which opens to the heavens and allows itself to be fertilized.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory, who silently fulfil the role life has given them. I want to be able to do this because the most important things, those that shape our existence, are precisely the ones that never show their faces.
Paulo Coelho

A man only has a soul to be won or lost.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes there's just no way to hold back the river.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible. We grow up with this idea, and as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of prejudice, fear and guilt. There comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But know that it's still there.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything on Earth is being continuously transformed.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Try to be good, you'll be judged. Try to be yourself, you'll be criticized. Therefore, choose the second option. Evil uses the nice good people as puppets. It appears dressed as a poor guy, telling them that he needs help...When these people realize they have been used, it is already too late.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The cup of suffering is not the same size for everyone.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love doesn't limit itself to relationships: it is a celebration of life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Empty your mind, stop thinking about anything, simply be.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It wasn't a dance, but the complete absence of noise and movement, the silence, that brought me in contact with myself.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Whenever we need to make a very important decision it is best to trust our instincts, because reason usually tries to remove us from our dream, saying that the time is not yet right. Reason is afraid of defeat, but intuition enjoys life and its challenges.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life can seem short or life can seem long, depending on how you live it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
One way or another, I have wound up destroying what I've loved. I've seen my dreams fall apart just when I seemed to achieve them. I always thought tat was just the way life was. My life anf everybody else's.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The light of love drives away the darkness of guilt.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never stop dreaming and follow the omens.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I walk every day, and I look at the mountains and the fields and the small city, and I say: 'Oh my God, what a blessing.' Then you realise it's important to put it in a context beyond this woman, this man, this city, this country, this universe.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive . and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.
Paulo Coelho
