Paulo Coelho

All the world's roads lead to the heart of the Warrior.
Paulo Coelho

People, since the beginning of time, have always tried to understand the universe through love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I believe everything is one thing only. That said, there are some questions in my life that I don't know.. I've stopped asking. At the very beginning of my life, I wanted to have answers for everything. And now I respect the fact that I can't have answers for everything.

Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
Paulo Coelho
Image
you only know yourself when you go beyond your limits
Paulo Coelho
Image
We always know which is the best road to follow, but we follow only the road that we have become accustomed to.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What is I? It's what you are, not what others make of you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The third indication that our dreams are dead is peace.
Paulo Coelho
Image
They were seeking out the treasure of their destiny, without actually wanting to live out their destiny.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life can seem short or life can seem long, depending on how you live it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears
Paulo Coelho
