Image
I don't know what's going to happen to me tomorrow. That's why I don't save my best for last.
Paulo Coelho
Image
At this moment, many people have stopped living. They do not become angry, nor cry out they merely wait for time to pass. They did not accept the challenges of life, so life no longer challenges them
Paulo Coelho
Image
Her silence was the blank space between the words.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am going to die. But I am going to die in peace because I lived my life as intensely as I could.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What makes life interesting are the challenges we face.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A writer always wears glasses and never combs his hair. Half the time he feels angry about everything and the other half depressed. He spends most of his life in bars, arguing with other dishevelled, bespectacled writers. He says very 'deep' things. He always has amazing ideas for the plot of his next novel, and hates the one he has just published.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If something happens once, it may never happen again. If it happens twice it most likely will keep happening.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Few take up the burden of their own victory most give up their dreams when these become impossible.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Enjoy the questions and forget the answers.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life takes us by surprise and orders us to move toward the unknown -even when we don't want to and when we think we don't need to.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I've noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down, but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
An enthusiastic heart finds opportunities everywhere.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you start by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work towards getting it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Today don't beg, don't ask, just thank God in silence for all the blessings in your life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every new book is a challenge. I could, of course, have stopped many years ago if it was only for money. But no, it is about building bridges among cultures, different cultures... When you want someone to understand something that is not forcefully in your culture, you use stories.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Only cowards hide behind silence.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When faced with a loss, it is no use trying to recover what has gone. On the other hand, a great space has been opened up in your life - there it lies, empty, waiting to be filled with something new. At the moment of one's loss, contradictory as this might seem, one is being given a large slice of freedom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change, but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I want to be a writer, not an engineer who writes books.
Paulo Coelho
