Image
My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There's no point sitting here, using words that mean nothing. Go and experiment. It's time you got out of here. Go and re-conquer your kingdom, which has grown corrupted by routine. Stop repeating the same lesson, because you won't learn anything new that way.
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
Men take the oddest satisfaction in feeling superior without knowing that most of the time they are being utterly predictable.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
They were seeking out the treasure of their destiny, without actually wanting to live out their destiny.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think the big danger of madness is not madness itself, but the habit of madness. What I discovered during the time I spent in the asylum is that I could choose madness and spend my whole life without working, doing nothing, pretending to be mad. It was a very strong temptation.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A Warrior knows that everything a person does has enduring consequences.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you're asking me if I like your company, the answer is yes. If, on the other hand, you're asking me if I could live without you, the answer is also yes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That is why I write - to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes it's better to leave things as they are, he thought to himself, and decided to say nothing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is one long training session in preparation for what will come. Life and death lose their meaning there are only challenges to be met with joy and overcome with tranquility.
Paulo Coelho
