When you must choose a new path, do not bring old experiences with you. Those who strike out afresh, but who attempt to retain a little of the old life, end up torn apart by their own memories.

More quotes by Paulo Coelho
I love you', though, were three words she had often heard during her twenty-two years, and it seemed to her that they were now completely devoid of meaning, because they had never turned into anything serious or deep, never translated into a lasting relationship.
Paulo Coelho
When you repeat a mistake, it is not a mistake anymore: it is a decision.
Paulo Coelho
When we step out of our normal world and leave behind us all the usual barriers and prejudices, we tend to become more adventurous.
Paulo Coelho
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
We humans have two great problems: the first is knowing when to begin the second is knowing when to stop.
Paulo Coelho
The trouble with words is that they give us the illusory sense that we are making ourselves understood as well as understanding what others are saying. However, when we turn around and come face-to-face with our destiny, we discover that words are not enough.
Paulo Coelho
Sometimes the best of gods gift's arrive by the shattering of all the window panes.
Paulo Coelho
There's no point sitting here, using words that mean nothing. Go and experiment. It's time you got out of here. Go and re-conquer your kingdom, which has grown corrupted by routine. Stop repeating the same lesson, because you won't learn anything new that way.
Paulo Coelho
He has learned that it is best to follow the light.
Paulo Coelho
In a world where everyone struggles to survive whatever the cost, how could one judge those people who decide to die? No one can judge. Each person knows the extent of their own suffering or the total absence of meaning in their lives.
Paulo Coelho
I will never be yours, and you will never be mine nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you, I love you, I love you.
Paulo Coelho
Fortunate are those who take the first step. Someday people will realize that men and women are capable of speaking the language of the angels - that all of us are possessed of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that we can perform miracles, cure, prophesy, and understand.
Paulo Coelho
Life sometimes separates people so that they can realize how much they mean to each other.
Paulo Coelho
We must have a university degree even if we never get a job in the area of knowledge we were forced to study.
Paulo Coelho
Judging oneself to be inferior to other people was one of the worst acts of pride because it was the most destructive way of being different.
Paulo Coelho
A writer always wears glasses and never combs his hair. Half the time he feels angry about everything and the other half depressed. He spends most of his life in bars, arguing with other dishevelled, bespectacled writers. He says very 'deep' things. He always has amazing ideas for the plot of his next novel, and hates the one he has just published.
Paulo Coelho
When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
Paulo Coelho
I don't know what's going to happen to me tomorrow. That's why I don't save my best for last.
Paulo Coelho
For those that were never wounded by love, they will never be able to say: “I lived”. Because they haven’t.
Paulo Coelho
Our time on this earth is sacred, and we should celebrate every moment.
Paulo Coelho
