More quotes by Paulo Coelho
We will always meet rivals in everything we do, but the most dangerous are those we believe to be our friends.
Paulo Coelho
In a world where everyone struggles to survive whatever the cost, how could one judge those people who decide to die? No one can judge. Each person knows the extent of their own suffering or the total absence of meaning in their lives.
Paulo Coelho
One of many ways to be useful is to inspire people to forget some rules imposed by society. IMPORTANT rules are dictated by our hearts.
Paulo Coelho
Love is a complicated path, and that path can lead us up to heaven or hurl us down into hell.
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 must never forget that spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love. And with love, there are no rules.
Paulo Coelho
Everyone has their own way of learning.
Paulo Coelho
Don't try to be useful. Try to be yourself: that is enough & that makes all the difference.
Paulo Coelho
The Virgin (and I'm not speaking here of a sexual virgin) is the one whose search springs from her complete independence, and everything she learns is the fruit of her ability to face challenges alone.
Paulo Coelho
From that day on, it was the desert that would be important. She would look to it everyday, and would try to guess which star the boy was following in search of his treasure. She would have to send her kisses on the wind hoping that the wind would touch the boy's face, and would tell him that she was alive.
Paulo Coelho
Maybe God created the desert so that man could appreciate the date trees
Paulo Coelho
Love with no boundaries. Your future depends on your capacity to love.
Paulo Coelho
I think the big danger of madness is not madness itself, but the habit of madness. What I discovered during the time I spent in the asylum is that I could choose madness and spend my whole life without working, doing nothing, pretending to be mad. It was a very strong temptation.
Paulo Coelho
Fashion may renew itself every six months but one thing remains the same: bouncers always wear black.
Paulo Coelho
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
We are here because we are made by God, we will return to God. So people who think that they are something, they are totally wrong. And this is the most beautiful thing in life, it is that we don't own anything. So, everything is ours in the sense that we have the world to explore and not things to carry, a burden to carry.
Paulo Coelho
People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being. Maybe that's why they give up on it so early, too.
Paulo Coelho
People only give value to a thing if they have, at some point, been uncertain as to whether or not they'll get it.
Paulo Coelho
Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.
Paulo Coelho
... but the greatest wisdom is blinded by the glare of vanity.
Paulo Coelho
