Paulo Coelho

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.

Paulo Coelho
Image
No matter how many detours and adjustments it made, the caravan moved toward the same compass point. Once obstacles were overcome, it returned to its course, sighting on a star that indicated the location of the oasis.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Few take up the burden of their own victory most give up their dreams when these become impossible.
Paulo Coelho

What is outside is harder to change than what is inside.
Paulo Coelho

Hold the hand of the child within you. For this child, nothing is impossible.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am my own best friend and my own worst enemy. Before coming here, I was thinking I don't deserve it, that i wouldn't be able to meet your expectations, and that you had probably chosen the wrong candidate. At the same time, my heart was telling me that i was being rewarded because i hadn't given up and had fought to the end
