That's how love got lost ... when we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn't appear.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are always trying to convert people to a belief in our own explanation of the universe. We think that the more people there are who believe as we do, the more certain it will be that what we believe is the truth. But it doesn't work that way at all.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A man is at his strongest when he is willing to accept his vulnerability
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
I am not happy, and the quest for happiness as a principal objective is not part of my world. Of course, ever since I can remember, I have done what I felt like doing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I simply believe that a book has a journey to make, and should not be condemned to being stuck on a shelf… Let’s leave our books free to travel, then, to be touched by other hands, and enjoyed by other eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Once someone asked me, What do you want to be your epitaph? So I said, Paulo Coelho died when he was alive.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Forget about shortcuts. Instead, enjoy the wonders of your path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or - such is the pleasure they experience - they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.
Paulo Coelho

Sorrows do not last forever when we are journeying towards the thing we have always wanted.
Paulo Coelho
