If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise, said the seer. If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur.

Relax...90% of haters are begging for love. 10% just want a little attention
Paulo Coelho

I learned that the search for God is a Dark Night, that Faith is a Dark Night. And that’s hardly a surprise really, because for us each day is a dark night. None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, and yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.

You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.
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

It's important though to distinguish between religion and spirituality.
Paulo Coelho
Image
So for the question I go to the mystery of it and say I don't know. I only know that I am alive and there is something that manifests in my life, that it is God and one day I am going to understand my life, probably in the day that I die, or afterwards. But I try to find good questions and not good answers.
Paulo Coelho

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

Life is a long pilgrimage from fear to love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Haven't you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes, we are so attached to our way of life that we turn down wonderful opportunities simply because don't know what to do with it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every man has a feminine side, and every woman a masculine side. It is important to use discipline with intuition, and to use intuition with objectivity.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you repeat a mistake, it is not a mistake anymore: it is a decision.
Paulo Coelho

People are very reluctant to talk about their private lives but then you go to the internet and they're much more open.
