More quotes by Paulo Coelho
In the beginning there was only a small amount of injustice abroad in the world, but everyone who came afterwards added their portion, always thinking it was very small and unimportant, and look where we have ended up today.
Paulo Coelho
The present moment, though, is outside of time, it’s Eternity. In India they use the word “karma” for lack of any better term. But it’s a concept that’s rarely given a proper explanation. It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
Paulo Coelho
Omens are a language, it's the alphabet we develop to speak to the world's soul, or the universe's, or God's, whatever name you want to give it. Like an alphabet, it is individual, you only learn it by making mistakes, and that keeps you from globalizing the spiritual quest.
Paulo Coelho
Walking helps me a lot to feel alive, and I do this every single day, my wife and I. We have long conversations about nature, and we also walk silently, just contemplating.
Paulo Coelho
We must get rid of the idea of fulfilling what people expect us to do, and start to do what we expect from our lives.
Paulo Coelho
In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.
Paulo Coelho
If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.
Paulo Coelho
How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?
Paulo Coelho
Go and get your things,' he said. 'Dreams mean work.
Paulo Coelho
Take these, said the old man, holding out a white stone and a black stone that had been embedded at the center of the breastplate. They are called Urim and Thummim. The black signifies 'yes,' and the white 'no.' When you are unable to read the omens, they will help you to do so. Always ask an objective question.
Paulo Coelho
Instead of noting down things I’m unlikely to forget, I will write a poem. Even if I have never written one before and even if I never do so again, I will at least know that I once had the courage to put my feelings into words.
Paulo Coelho
You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say.
Paulo Coelho
A Warrior of Light needs love. Love and affection are part of his nature. He makes use of solitude, but is not used by it.
Paulo Coelho
He had not a cent in his pocket, but he had faith. He had decided, the night before, that he would be as much an adventurer as the ones he had admired in books.
Paulo Coelho
Discipline and freedom are not mutually exclusive but mutually dependent because otherwise, you'd sink into chaos.
Paulo Coelho
The world is divided into those who understand me and those who don’t. In the case of the latter, I simply leave them to torment themselves trying to gain my sympathy.
Paulo Coelho
When faced by any loss, there’s no point in trying to recover what has been, it’s best to take advantage of the large space that opens up before us and fill it with something new.
Paulo Coelho
Life will undertake to separate us, and we must each set off in search of our own path, our own destiny or our own way of facing death.
Paulo Coelho
if a book isn't self-explanatory, then it isn't worth reading.
Paulo Coelho
The night is just a part of the day
Paulo Coelho
