Paulo Coelho

The best way to weaken one's enemy was to get him to believe that you were on his side.
Paulo Coelho

Simply having the courage to say senseless things made me euphoric. I was free, with no need to seek or to give explanations for what I was doing. This freedom lifted me to the heavens - where greater love, one that forgives everything and never allows you to feel abandoned, once again enveloped me.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

Following fashion trends, however ridiculous or uncomfortable.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Long since, the desert wind wiped away our footprints in the sand. But at every second of my existence, I remember what happened, and you still walk in my dreams and in my reality. Thank you for having crossed my path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
So long as you do no harm to another, change your opinion once in a while. Contradict yourself without being embarrassed. This is your right. It doesn't matter what others think -because that's what they will think, in any case.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Intelligent people discuss ideas. Fools discuss how people should behave.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I # forgive not because I became a saint, but because I'm tired of hating.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The closer you get to your dream, the more your personal legend becomes your real reason for living.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You are not defeated when you lose. You are defeated when you quit.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Your eyes show the strength of your soul.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I refuse to walk faintly through life only to arrive safely at death!
Paulo Coelho
Image
In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.
Paulo Coelho
