More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
Love is a complicated path, and that path can lead us up to heaven or hurl us down into hell.
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
Image
The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Come on, let's go. Crazy people do crazy things.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I believe it is better to live a dream rather than to simply dream it. The dream is the start of something greater, something that impels us to make daring decisions. And it's true that the person who pursues a dream takes many risks. But the person who does not runs risks that are even greater.
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
How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?
Paulo Coelho
Image
Choosing one path means abandoning others - if you try to follow every possible path you will end up following none.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Perhaps they needn't even believe - it was enough that they needed angels, and the angels would return gladly.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never give up. When your heart becomes tired, just walk with your legs - but move on.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He knows that he must act, but he must allow room for the Universe to act too.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The boy told himself that, on the way toward realizing his own destiny, he had learned all he needed to know, and had experienced everything he might have dreamed of.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What is outside is harder to change than what is inside.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The world has never been as divided as it is now, what with religious wars, genocides, a lack of respect for the planet, economic crisis, depression, poverty, with everyone wanting instant solutions to at least some of the world's problems or their own. And things only look bleaker as we head into future.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Break a pact. Accept forgiveness. Make a bet.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Investing a lot of time and money in external beauty and caring little about internal beauty.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It was all a matter of control. And Choice. Nothing more, nothing less
Paulo Coelho
Image
I refuse to walk faintly through life only to arrive safely at death!
Paulo Coelho

In the southern hemisphere, covering the Christmas tree with fake snow even though winter has nothing to do with the birth of Christ.
