Knowledge was always the power that kept the Universe in its place and the stars turning in their orbits.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
I was content in my universe and didn't want to change it at all, even though I was being propelled in that direction.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Walk neither faster nor slower than your own soul. Because it is your soul that will teach you the usefulness of each step you take.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must never forget that spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love. And with love, there are no rules.
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
But now I knew that true love was above all that and that it would be better to die than to fail to love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is one long training session in preparation for what will come. Life and death lose their meaning there are only challenges to be met with joy and overcome with tranquility.

There is always a right moment to stop something.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Judging yourself to be full of virtue paralyses. Judging yourself to be full of guilt also paralyses.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If we don't face our fears, our fears will chase us forever.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Facing the difficulties, I can choose either to be a poor victim or a great adventurer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love doesn't limit itself to relationships: it is a celebration of life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes I need to be a stranger to myself. Only then my soul can show me not what I want, but what I need to see.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When it comes to treachery, he is implacable.
Paulo Coelho
Image
People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.
Paulo Coelho
