Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
Too often, we decide to follow a path that is not really our own, one that others have set for us. We forget that...in both cases we will pass through both difficult and happy moments. But when we are living our dream, the difficulties we encounter make sense.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You should treat a muse like a fairy.

The only way to save our dreams is by being generous with ourselves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And with the passing years, what had once seemed like a miracle or the luckiest of chances and which he had always promised himself he would never become enslaved by, has gradually become his sole reason to go on living.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In our obsessive wish to arrive, we often forget the most important thing, which is the journey.
Paulo Coelho
