More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
Our body remains alive, yet sooner or later our soul will receive a mortal blow. The perfect crime--for we don't know who murdered our joy, what their motives were, or where the guilty parties are to be found.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Follow your dreams, transform your life, take the path that leads to God. Perform your miracles. Cure. Make prophecies. Listen to your guardian angel. Transform yourself. Be a warrior, and be happy as you wage the good fight. Take risks.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Try to live with the same intensity as a child. He doesn't ask for explanations he dives into each day as if it were a new adventure and, at night, sleeps tired and happy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But now I knew that true love was above all that and that it would be better to die than to fail to love.
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
No man is an island. To fight the good fight we need help.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Walk neither faster nor slower than your own soul. Because it is your soul that will teach you the usefulness of each step you take.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I want to be a writer, not an engineer who writes books.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If everyone there just lived their lives and let others do the same, God would be in every moment, in every grain of mustard, in the fragment of cloud that is there and then gone the following moment. God was there and yet people believed they still had to go on looking, because it seemed too simple to accept that life was an act of faith.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Try to find pleasure in the speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you're the one who must decide how you handle it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
No one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If we don't face our fears, our fears will chase us forever.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren't, or of moments that could have been found but were forever hidden in the sands.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Collective madness is called sanity.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Enthusiasm is the force that leads us to the final victory.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You are your own best friend. Never ever, put yourself down.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Hatred is public demonstration of inferiority complex.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Forget about shortcuts. Instead, enjoy the wonders of your path.
Paulo Coelho
