Paulo Coelho
Image
When we boldly seek love, love reveals itself to us, and we end up attracting more love. If one person loves us, everybody loves us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily
Paulo Coelho
Image
Of course, to have money is just great because you can do what you think is important to you. I always was a rich person because money's not related to happiness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What good is money to you if you're going to die? It's not often that money can save someone's life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A Warrior of the Light cannot always choose his battlefield.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We forget that the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm not saying that love always takes you to heaven. Your life can become a nightmare. But that said, it is worth taking the risk.
Paulo Coelho
Image
People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being. Maybe that's why they give up on it so early, too.
