Love will never separate a man from his personal legend.
Paulo Coelho

Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity.
Paulo Coelho

She [the Virgin Mary] was normal. She had already had other children. The Bible tells us that Jesus had two brothers. Virginity, as it relates to Jesus, is based on a different thing: Mary initiated a new generation of grace. A new era began. She is the cosmic bride, Earth, which opens to the heavens and allows itself to be fertilized.

You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, and on most journeys you don't even understand the language the people speak....You begin to be more accessible to others, because they may be able to help you in difficult situations.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Why don't people's hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams? [...] Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer.
Paulo Coelho

It is not enough to dream of the Impossible Love - it is necessary to conquer it too.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our souls are prisoners of the terror of death, and the day is beautiful.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must at all costs avoid saying no because people prefer those who say yes, and this allows us to survive in hostile territory.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Avoiding depression with large daily doses of television.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love cannot be held prisoner because it is a river and will overflow its banks.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm not saying that love always takes you to heaven. Your life can become a nightmare. But that said, it is worth taking the risk.
Paulo Coelho
Image
God only rarely reveals the future. When he does so, it is for one reason: it's a future that was written so as to be altered.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am not happy, and the quest for happiness as a principal objective is not part of my world. Of course, ever since I can remember, I have done what I felt like doing.
Paulo Coelho
