More quotes by Paulo Coelho
What I can say is that all my characters are searching for their souls, because they are my mirrors. I'm someone who is constantly trying to understand my place in the world, and literature is the best way that I found in order to see myself.
Paulo Coelho
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
I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written.
Paulo Coelho
A warrior balances solitude and dependence.
Paulo Coelho
That is why I write - to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.
Paulo Coelho
I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory, who silently fulfil the role life has given them. I want to be able to do this because the most important things, those that shape our existence, are precisely the ones that never show their faces.
Paulo Coelho
You say they create their own reality, said Veronika, but what is reality?
Paulo Coelho
Man needs what's worst in him in order to achieve what's best in him.
Paulo Coelho
But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.
Paulo Coelho
Duty never stopped anyone from following their dreams.
Paulo Coelho
No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.
Paulo Coelho
Charisma- the divine force that manifests itself in men and women. The supernatural power we don't need to show to anyone because everyone can see it, even usually insensitive people. But it only happens when we're naked, when we die to the world and are reborn to ourselves.
Paulo Coelho
It is Easy to be a Hater. Go for the difficult Task: be a Lover!
Paulo Coelho
Life is a long pilgrimage from fear to love.
Paulo Coelho
Everything is worship if your mind is focused on the present moment.
Paulo Coelho
Life is like a garden, you reap what you sow
Paulo Coelho
When you are moving toward an objective, said Petrus, it is very important to pay attention to the road. It is the road that teaches us the best way to get there, and the road enriches us as we walk its length.
Paulo Coelho
Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free.
Paulo Coelho
We still did not answer the questions that are important to us
Paulo Coelho
Not everyone can see his dreams come true in the same way.
Paulo Coelho
