More quotes by Paulo Coelho
My smile is my way of saying: You can destroy my body, but not my soul.
Paulo Coelho
She was doing it because she had nothing to lose, because her life was one of constant, day to day frustration.
Paulo Coelho
Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost?
Paulo Coelho
Everything in life is about sharing it is part of the human condition
Paulo Coelho
Every road i traveled led back to you
Paulo Coelho
They went to university because someone, at a time when universities seemed important, said that in order to rise in the world, you had to have a degree. And thus the world was deprived of some excellent gardeners, bakers, antique dealers, sculptors, and writers.
Paulo Coelho
of all the weapons of destruction that man could invent, the most terrible-and the most powerful-was the word. Daggers and spears left traces of blood arrows could be seen at a distance. Poisons were detected in the end and avoided. But the word managed to destroy without leaving clues.
Paulo Coelho
Avoiding depression with large daily doses of television.
Paulo Coelho
We all have an unknown ability, which will probably remain unknown forever. And yet that ability can become our ally. Since it’s impossible to measure that ability or give it an economic value, it’s never taken seriously.
Paulo Coelho
Try to find pleasure in the speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you're the one who must decide how you handle it.
Paulo Coelho
We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.
Paulo Coelho
Those who never take risks can only see other people's failures.
Paulo Coelho
She looked at her own past, and, for the first time, she forgave herself: it hadn't been her fault, but the fault of that insecure little boy, who had given up after the first attempt.
Paulo Coelho
Everybody has to share something. This is one of the most important laws of the human condition, is the necessity to share. This is the task of the writer - but not only of a writer, of every human being - it is to share something that he or she has.
Paulo Coelho
Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
Paulo Coelho
Make each day truly new, dressing it with the blessings of heaven, bathing it in wisdom and love and putting yourself under the protection of Mother Nature. Learn from the wise, from the sacred books, but do not forget that every mountain, river, plant or tree also has something to teach.
Paulo Coelho
Investing a lot of time and money in external beauty and caring little about internal beauty.
Paulo Coelho
Don't give up. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door.
Paulo Coelho
The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.
Paulo Coelho
Our dreams are our own, and only we can know the effort required to keep them alive.
Paulo Coelho
