Don't think about what you've left behind.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image

Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
When we're interested in something, everything around us appears to refer to it (the mystics call these phenomena signs, the sceptics coincidence, and psychologists concentrated focus, although I've yet to find out what term historians should use).
Paulo Coelho
Image
The best way to serve God is by going in search of your own dreams. Only the happy can spread happiness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.
Paulo Coelho
Image
All haters are losers, even when they win.
Paulo Coelho
Image
life is the moment we're living right now.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Coincidence is the language of the stars, for something to happen, so many forces have to be put into action.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life takes us by surprise and orders us to move toward the unknown -even when we don't want to and when we think we don't need to.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Her silence was the blank space between the words.
Paulo Coelho
