More quotes by Paulo Coelho
The warrior of Light perseveres in his desire, but knows he must wait for the best moment.
Paulo Coelho
It takes a huge effort to free yourself from memory, but when you succeed, you start to realize that you're capable of far more than you imagined.
Paulo Coelho
Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.
Paulo Coelho
The present moment, though, is outside of time, it’s Eternity. In India they use the word “karma” for lack of any better term. But it’s a concept that’s rarely given a proper explanation. It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
Paulo Coelho
You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.
Paulo Coelho
A Warrior often loses heart.
Paulo Coelho
Sometimes it's what you don't say that counts.
Paulo Coelho
No man is an island. To fight the good fight we need help.
Paulo Coelho
People, since the beginning of time, have always tried to understand the universe through love.
Paulo Coelho
But that moment exists - a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles.
Paulo Coelho
You have two choices: to control your mind or to let your mind control you.
Paulo Coelho
Don't let yourself be weighed down by what other people think, because in a few years, in a few decades, or in a few centuries, that way of thinking will have changed. Live now what others will only live in the future.
Paulo Coelho
When we're interested in something, everything around us appears to refer to it (the mystics call these phenomena signs, the sceptics coincidence, and psychologists concentrated focus, although I've yet to find out what term historians should use).
Paulo Coelho
We are always trying to convert people to a belief in our own explanation of the universe. We think that the more people there are who believe as we do, the more certain it will be that what we believe is the truth. But it doesn't work that way at all.
Paulo Coelho
In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.
Paulo Coelho
He has learned that it is best to follow the light.
Paulo Coelho
The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom.
Paulo Coelho
Following fashion trends, however ridiculous or uncomfortable.
Paulo Coelho
If you have a work instead of a job, every day is holiday
Paulo Coelho
What makes people weak? Their need for validation and recognition, their need to feel important. Don't get caught in this trap.
Paulo Coelho
