We make a lot of detours, but we're always heading for the same destination
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't let yourself be weighed down by what other people think, because in a few years, in a few decades, or in a few centuries, that way of thinking will have changed. Live now what others will only live in the future.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A Warrior knows that everything a person does has enduring consequences.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We all know fear. But passion makes us fearless.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we are high up, everything looks very small. Our glories and our sadnesses cease to be important. We have left whatever we won or lost down below. From the top of a mountain you can see how large the world is and how wide the horizon.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We women, when we're searching for a meaning to our lives or for the path of knowledge, always identify with one of four classic archetypes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Warrior sometimes fights with those he loves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Respect those who grew up and learned alongside you. Respect those who taught you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But when he thought to complain about the burden of its weight, he remembered that, because he had the jacket, he had withstood the cold of the dawn. We have to be prepared for change, he thought, and he was grateful for the jacket's weight and warmth. The jacket had a purpose, and so did the boy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Only two things can reveal life's great secrets: suffering and love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never laughing too loudly in a restaurant no matter how good the joke.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everybody has to share something. This is one of the most important laws of the human condition, is the necessity to share. This is the task of the writer - but not only of a writer, of every human being - it is to share something that he or she has.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Too often, we decide to follow a path that is not really our own, one that others have set for us. We forget that...in both cases we will pass through both difficult and happy moments. But when we are living our dream, the difficulties we encounter make sense.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are all a part of the divine spark. All have a purpose in creation and that purpose is called Love. That love, however, shouldn't be concentrated in just one person, it should be scattered throughout the world, waiting to be discovered. Wake up that love. What is gone cannot return. What is about to arrive needs to be recognized.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A warrior of light needs both patience and speed. He treats each situation as if it were unique.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our selfishness will condemn us to the worst suffering that we ourselves have invented - loneliness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Hatred is public demonstration of inferiority complex.
Paulo Coelho
