Quote

I don't regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears

We must marry, have children, reproduce the species.

And he never judges someone else's suffering.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love appears and says: You think you're heading towards a specific point, but the whole justification for the goal's existence lies in your love for it. Rest a little,but as soon as you can, get up and carry on. Because ever since your goal found out that you were traveling toward it, it has been running to meet you.
Paulo Coelho

Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away
Paulo Coelho

We must play music quietly, talk quietly, weep in private, because I am the all-powerful Zahir, who lays down the rules and determines the distance between railway tracks, the meaning of success, the best way to love, the importance of rewards.
Paulo Coelho

Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.
Paulo Coelho

Déjà vu is more than just that fleeting moment of surprise, instantly forgotten because we never bother with things that make no sense. It show that time doesn't pass. It's a leap into something we have already experienced and that is being repeated.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we venture in that unfamiliar sea, we trust blindly in those who guide us, believing that they know more than we do.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If everyone there just lived their lives and let others do the same, God would be in every moment, in every grain of mustard, in the fragment of cloud that is there and then gone the following moment. God was there and yet people believed they still had to go on looking, because it seemed too simple to accept that life was an act of faith.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.
Paulo Coelho
Image
An enemy always represents a weakness. This might be fear of physical pain, but it could also be a premature sense of victory or the desire to abandon the fight because it is no longer worthwhile.
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
A man has to choose. This is where lies his strength: in the power of his decisions. If you choose to follow the path of your dreams, commit yourself to it. Accept your path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You're mistaken, Father. You were in paradise, but you didn't recognize it. It's the same with most people in this world they seek suffering in the most joyous of places because they think they are unworthy of happiness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In adolescence she thought it was too early to choose, now in youth she was convinced it was too late to change.
