More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
We are all a part of the divine spark. All have a purpose in creation and that purpose is called Love. That love, however, shouldn't be concentrated in just one person, it should be scattered throughout the world, waiting to be discovered. Wake up that love. What is gone cannot return. What is about to arrive needs to be recognized.
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
Image
It was shepherds who were the first to recognize a king that the rest of the world refused to acknowledge.

When life makes us face difficult situations-such as a personal loss-we have to understand that eternity is taking one more step.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
For a writer you have to be interested in different cultures, different backgrounds. You are not there to write only about your village. You're there to show a bit of your village, but also to understand other villages.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one is alone during tribulations - there's always someone else thinking, rejoicing or suffering in the same way. This thought gives us strength to face the challenge that lies in front of us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The warrior of light listens to what his opponent has to say. He only fights if absolutely necessary.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The warrior is always trying to improve.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A Warrior of Light needs love. Love and affection are part of his nature. He makes use of solitude, but is not used by it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There are two kinds of idiots - those who don't take action because they have received a threat, and those who think they are taking action because they have issued a threat.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule. Never lie to yourself.
Paulo Coelho

You are free, but you have to choose. An open oven bakes no bread
