Quote

In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.

More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There are two kinds of world: the one we dream about and the real one.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Wearing a scrap of colored cloth around your neck, even though it serves no useful purpose, but which answers to the name of tie.
Paulo Coelho
Image
From that day on, it was the desert that would be important. She would look to it everyday, and would try to guess which star the boy was following in search of his treasure. She would have to send her kisses on the wind hoping that the wind would touch the boy's face, and would tell him that she was alive.

Going after what I believe in.

Image
We all live in our own world. But if you look up at the starry sky - you'll see that all the different worlds up there combine to form constellations, solar systems, galaxies.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is an act of faith, not an exchange. Contradictions are what make love grow. Conflicts are what allow love to remain by our side.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't try to be useful. Try to be yourself: that is enough & that makes all the difference.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Oddly enough I never used to suffer from depression on cold, gray, cloudy days like this. I feel as if nature is in harmony with me, that it reflected my soul.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The third indication that our dreams are dead is peace.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We have to take advantage when luck is on our side, and do as much to help it as it's doing to help us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you're asking me if I like your company, the answer is yes. If, on the other hand, you're asking me if I could live without you, the answer is also yes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
if a book isn't self-explanatory, then it isn't worth reading.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You have a personal legend to fulfil, period. It is of no matter if others support you, or criticise you, ignore or tolerate you. You are doing that because that is your destiny on this earth, and the source of any joy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
People only give value to a thing if they have, at some point, been uncertain as to whether or not they'll get it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Why is patience so important? Because it makes us pay attention.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I learned long ago that in order to heal my wounds, I must have the courage to face up with them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot reach it.
Paulo Coelho

Lie down on the ground and feel the planet's heart beating.
