Life is a long pilgrimage from fear to love.
Paulo Coelho

In order to dominate the soul you must also learn to dominate the body. And in order to dominate the body you cannot fear pain.
Paulo Coelho

When the Warrior takes on a commitment, he keeps his word.

And so I am this pilgrim - if I can somehow answer your question - who's constantly amazed by this journey. Who is learning a new thing every single day. But who's not accumulating knowledge, because then it becomes a very heavy burden in your back. I am this person who is proud to be a pilgrim, and who's trying to honor his journey.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
The energy of hatred won't get you anywhere but the energy of forgiveness, which reveals itself through love, will transform your life in a positive way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The pain of yesterday is the strength of today.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We women, when we're searching for a meaning to our lives or for the path of knowledge, always identify with one of four classic archetypes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Believing that other people are always better than you-better-looking, more capable, richer, more intelligent-and that it's very dangerous to step outside your own limits, so it's best to do nothing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That was a matter suspended between heaven and earth, awaiting the hand of destiny.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one is alone during tribulations - there's always someone else thinking, rejoicing or suffering in the same way. This thought gives us strength to face the challenge that lies in front of us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
Paulo Coelho

You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points.
