Quote

There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.

More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
We can also allow our Soulmate to pass us by,without accepting him or her,or even noticing. Then we will need another incarnation in order to find that Soulmate. And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never cease doubting. When the doubts stop it is because you have stopped journeying.
Paulo Coelho
Image
To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the spark of God.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am in the Aleph, the point at which everything is in the same place at the same time. I'm at a window, looking out at the world and its secret places, poetry lost in time and words left hanging in space...sentences that are perfectly understood, even when left unspoken. Feelings that simultaneously exalt and suffocate.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Children are always looking at the world as if it was for the first time in their lives. So, we should always look to the world with the eyes of a child. I am not saying be naive, I am saying be innocent in the sense of discovering things.
Paulo Coelho

Everyone has their own way of learning.
Paulo Coelho

No one can go back, but everyone can go forward.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In the beginning there was only a small amount of injustice abroad in the world, but everyone who came afterwards added their portion, always thinking it was very small and unimportant, and look where we have ended up today.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Of course. My sadness has become a routine that no one notices anymore.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The closer one gets to realizing his destiny, the more that destiny becomes his true reason for being.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Avoiding problems you need to face is avoiding the life you need to live.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What makes life interesting are the challenges we face.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And they will return one day knowing the miracle of the heavens and of all the world. God knew what he was doing when he drew their attention to the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. If he hadn’t wanted them to eat it, he would never have mentioned it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm alive. When I'm eating that's all I think about. If I'm on the march, I just concentrate on marching. If I have to fight,it will be just as good a day as any to die. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. Life is the moment we are living now.
Paulo Coelho

Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.
Paulo Coelho

She was doing it because she had nothing to lose, because her life was one of constant, day to day frustration.

Tolerance and compassion are qualities of fearless people.
Paulo Coelho

If you have a past with which you feel dissatisfied, then forget it. Now.
Paulo Coelho
