More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
We are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible. We grow up with this idea, and as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of prejudice, fear and guilt. There comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But know that it's still there.

None of us can know what tomorrow will hold, because each day has its good and its bad moments.
Paulo Coelho

We learn what we need, Not what we'd want to
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think that, with age, people come to realize that death is inevitable. And we need to learn to face it with serenity, wisdom and resignation. Death often frees us from a lot of senseless sufferings.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away
Paulo Coelho
Image
All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves.
Paulo Coelho

Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.

When you know how to use it, disobedience can be a virtue.
Paulo Coelho

We must play music quietly, talk quietly, weep in private, because I am the all-powerful Zahir, who lays down the rules and determines the distance between railway tracks, the meaning of success, the best way to love, the importance of rewards.
