More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
Suffering occurs when we want other people to love us in the way we imagine we want to be loved, and not in the way that love should manifest itself--free and untrammeled, guiding us with its force and driving us on.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He also knows the power of word.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise, said the seer. If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The old shepherd was right: The only solution was to forget a part of uncertainty and create a new history for oneself.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The pain barrier was not a barrier for her she could go beyond it.
Paulo Coelho

The soul of the world is nourished by people's Happiness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is an act of faith in another person, not an act of surrender.
Paulo Coelho
Image
People who are on a spiritual quest don't think, they simply want results.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You want to know if the heart of a man or a woman can contain enough love for more than one person? ... I think it's perfectly possible as long as one of those people doesn't turn into ... a Zahir.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The fool who loves giving advice on our garden never tends his own plants
Paulo Coelho
Image
When someone wants something, they must know why they are fighting. This is the only reason to seek a reward.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The closer one gets to realizing his destiny, the more that destiny becomes his true reason for being.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I learned that the search for God is a Dark Night, that Faith is a Dark Night. And that’s hardly a surprise really, because for us each day is a dark night. None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, and yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A warrior of the light...never confuses tension with anxiety.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Man struggles to survive, not to succumb
Paulo Coelho
Image
However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Forgive your enemy, but do not mistake him for a friend.
Paulo Coelho
