Love will never separate a man from his personal legend.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory, who silently fulfil the role life has given them. I want to be able to do this because the most important things, those that shape our existence, are precisely the ones that never show their faces.
Paulo Coelho

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
Image
This was freedom to feel what the heart desired with no thought to the opinion of the rest... She was free, for love liberates.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Feelings should always be allowed to be free. You should not judge a future love by past suffering.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I always was a rich person because money's not related to happiness.
Paulo Coelho

Every moment in life is an act of faith
