Why don't people's hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams? [...] Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer.

Like the children we will never ever cease to be.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am in the Aleph, the point at which everything is in the same place at the same time. I'm at a window, looking out at the world and its secret places, poetry lost in time and words left hanging in space...sentences that are perfectly understood, even when left unspoken. Feelings that simultaneously exalt and suffocate.
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

Forget about shortcuts. Instead, enjoy the wonders of your path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Lord heareth the prayers of those who ask to put aside hatred. But he is deaf to those who would flee from love.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho

The Good Fight is the one that we fight in the name of our dreams.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Words are tears that have been written down. Tears are words that need to be shed. Without them, joy loses all its brilliance and sadness has no end.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything in life is about sharing it is part of the human condition
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
In order to arrive you must follow the signs. God inscribed on the world the path that each man must follow. It is just a matter of reading the inscription He wrote for you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am my own best friend and my own worst enemy. Before coming here, I was thinking I don't deserve it, that i wouldn't be able to meet your expectations, and that you had probably chosen the wrong candidate. At the same time, my heart was telling me that i was being rewarded because i hadn't given up and had fought to the end
Paulo Coelho
Image
There is an afterlife. I am convinced of this.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Suffering occurs when we want other people to love us in the way we imagine we want to be loved, and not in the way that love should manifest itself--free and untrammeled, guiding us with its force and driving us on.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We still did not answer the questions that are important to us
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.
Paulo Coelho
