Image
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
The glory of the world is transitory, and we should not measure our lives by it, but by the choice we make to follow our personal legend, to believe in our utopias, and to fight for our dreams.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one.
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
Image
That is why I write - to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When two people fall in love, past and future disappear.
Paulo Coelho
Image
They spent days, nights, weeks, and years talking, never accepting the fact that, good or bad, an idea only exists when someone tries to put it into practice.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one knows what is going to happen in the next few minutes, and yet people still go forward, because they have trust, because they have faith.
Paulo Coelho
