Quote

Faith is not Desire. Faith is Will. Desires are things that need to be satisfied, whereas Will is a force. Will changes the space around us.

Defeat is for the valiant. Only they will know the honor of losing and the joy of winning.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Feelings do not grow old along with the body. Feelings form part of a world I don’t know, but it’s a world where there’s no time, so space, no frontiers.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Discipline and freedom are not mutually exclusive but mutually dependent because otherwise, you'd sink into chaos.
Paulo Coelho
Image
All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.
Paulo Coelho
Image
For those that were never wounded by love, they will never be able to say: “I lived”. Because they haven’t.
Paulo Coelho

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
Life moves very fast. It rushes us from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every new book is a challenge. I could, of course, have stopped many years ago if it was only for money. But no, it is about building bridges among cultures, different cultures... When you want someone to understand something that is not forcefully in your culture, you use stories.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You deserve all the good things that happen to you. Don't feel guilty and accept the blessings.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A Warrior knows that a great dream is made up of many different things, just as the light from the sun is the sum of its millions of rays.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Duty never stopped anyone from following their dreams.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't know if the books are making the world a much better place. I don't write with that objective. What I know is that I see my readers creating a critical mass so we can at least understand this world in a different way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When I had all the answers, the questions changed.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You need to change yourself. The moment that you change yourself it is a gigantic step. And this is what I do. The book is much more important than the writer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Words are tears that have been written down. Tears are words that need to be shed. Without them, joy loses all its brilliance and sadness has no end.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He sometimes behaves like water, flowing around the obstacles he encounters.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Philosophy can't build bridges, but can encourage people to cross them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written.
Paulo Coelho
