Quote

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.

Don't allow anyone to steal your joy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must get rid of the idea of fulfilling what people expect us to do, and start to do what we expect from our lives.
Paulo Coelho

Publishing is in a kind of Jurassic age.
Paulo Coelho

How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I believe it is better to live a dream rather than to simply dream it. The dream is the start of something greater, something that impels us to make daring decisions. And it's true that the person who pursues a dream takes many risks. But the person who does not runs risks that are even greater.
Paulo Coelho

Love gives us the strength to perform impossible tasks.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The energy that many people call love, is, in fact, the raw material from which the universe was built.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
Anyone who has known happiness will never again be able humbly to accept sadness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
God is the same, even though He has a thousand names it is up to us to select a name for Him.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Behind a cold face there is always an insecure heart.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love simply is. That is the testament of Athena or Sherine or Hagia Sofia - love is. No definitions. Love and don't ask too many questions. Just love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Simply having the courage to say senseless things made me euphoric. I was free, with no need to seek or to give explanations for what I was doing. This freedom lifted me to the heavens - where greater love, one that forgives everything and never allows you to feel abandoned, once again enveloped me.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When in doubt, just take the next small step
Paulo Coelho
Image
You should paint those visions of paradise rather than just talking about them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What is success? It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think that we are starting to get much more conscious about, you know, the importance of the spiritual path, and we are fulfilling it by paying attention to ourselves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do.
Paulo Coelho
