Human beings can withstand a week without water, two weeks without food, many years of homelessness, but not loneliness. It is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.

More quotes by Paulo Coelho
We women, when we're searching for a meaning to our lives or for the path of knowledge, always identify with one of four classic archetypes.
Paulo Coelho
We are all pilgrims in search of the unknown.
Paulo Coelho
I don't know what's going to happen to me tomorrow. That's why I don't save my best for last.
Paulo Coelho
I think it is a problem of our society that we don't enjoy (ourselves.) We have these values, like, you have to be rich, you have to get a diploma, you have to work hard, otherwise you are useless, you are nothing but a pariah. And the book asks, 'Is it true? This is what my mom told me, but is it true?
Paulo Coelho
Getting married, having children, and staying together long after all love has died, saying that it's for the good of the children (who are, apparently, deaf to the constant rows).
Paulo Coelho
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
Paulo Coelho
We have lost contact with reality, the simplicity of life.
Paulo Coelho
Love is, after all, a curse of suffering.
Paulo Coelho
Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. To love somebody isn`t just a strong feeling. It is a decision, a judgment, and a promise.
Paulo Coelho
When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
Paulo Coelho
Never cease doubting. When the doubts stop it is because you have stopped journeying.
Paulo Coelho
I lived in a dictatorship in Brazil, and I was arrested three times. I felt in my flesh what it is to live under such a regime and experience deprivation of freedom.
Paulo Coelho
Death is our constant companion, and it is death that gives each person's life its true meaning.
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.
Paulo Coelho
We must buy jewelry it identifies us with our tribe, just as body piercing identifies those of a different tribe.
Paulo Coelho
Investing a lot of time and money in external beauty and caring little about internal beauty.
Paulo Coelho
For the Warrior of Light there is no such thing as an impossible love. He is not intimidated by silence, indifference or rejection. He knows that, behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire. Without love, he is nothing.
Paulo Coelho
Don't try to be useful. Try to be yourself: that is enough & that makes all the difference.
Paulo Coelho
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
Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.
Paulo Coelho
