Quote

Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested. The boy remembered an old proverb from his country. It said that the darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn.

How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?
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

Bodies always understand each other, even when the souls do not.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He also knows the power of word.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I was not I, I was nothing - and that seemed to me quite marvelous.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He had not a cent in his pocket, but he had faith. He had decided, the night before, that he would be as much an adventurer as the ones he had admired in books.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I've noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down, but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A Warrior also knows that the fool who gives advice about someone else's garden is not tending his own plants.
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
They were strange books. They spoke about mercury, salt, dragons, and kings, and he didn't understand any of it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Charisma- the divine force that manifests itself in men and women. The supernatural power we don't need to show to anyone because everyone can see it, even usually insensitive people. But it only happens when we're naked, when we die to the world and are reborn to ourselves.
Paulo Coelho
