Quote

The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one.

Image
For the warrior of light there are no ends, only means. Life carries him from unknown to unknown. Each moment is filled with this thrilling mystery: the warrior does not know where he came from or where he is going.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death. They thought nobody can make a living from being a writer in Brazil. They were not wrong.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Because a warrior of light knows that he has duties and responsibilities.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Once a problem is solved, its simplicity is amazing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Finding one important thing in your life doesn’t mean you have to give up all the other important things.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Déjà vu is more than just that fleeting moment of surprise, instantly forgotten because we never bother with things that make no sense. It show that time doesn't pass. It's a leap into something we have already experienced and that is being repeated.
Paulo Coelho
Image
One of many ways to be useful is to inspire people to forget some rules imposed by society. IMPORTANT rules are dictated by our hearts.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The world has never been as divided as it is now, what with religious wars, genocides, a lack of respect for the planet, economic crisis, depression, poverty, with everyone wanting instant solutions to at least some of the world's problems or their own. And things only look bleaker as we head into future.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But when he thought to complain about the burden of its weight, he remembered that, because he had the jacket, he had withstood the cold of the dawn. We have to be prepared for change, he thought, and he was grateful for the jacket's weight and warmth. The jacket had a purpose, and so did the boy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We have lost contact with reality, the simplicity of life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
An angel and a devil are always beside us, and the one we listen to more will prevail. This confrontation is what makes life so magical because you are always challenged by the circumstances - we are good and evil depending on how we act
Paulo Coelho
Image
My brained warned me, but my heart didn't want to take its advice.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The search for happiness is purely personal and not a model we can give to others.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I believe it is better to live a dream rather than to simply dream it. The dream is the start of something greater, something that impels us to make daring decisions. And it's true that the person who pursues a dream takes many risks. But the person who does not runs risks that are even greater.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone
Paulo Coelho
Image
Some books make us dream, others bring us face to face with reality, but what matters most to the author is the honesty with which a book is written.
Paulo Coelho
Image
May we understand that fear of failure is worse than failure itself
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life will undertake to separate us, and we must each set off in search of our own path, our own destiny or our own way of facing death.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Break a pact. Accept forgiveness. Make a bet.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.
Paulo Coelho
