Paulo Coelho
That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.
Paulo Coelho
Faith is difficult to conquer and requires daily battles if it is to be maintained.
Paulo Coelho
Don't ask permission. If it does not work, you can apologize later.
Paulo Coelho
Haven't you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
Paulo Coelho
The light of love drives away the darkness of guilt.
Paulo Coelho
The music could even penetrate his remote world, more distant than the moon itself it could even perform miracles.
Paulo Coelho
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
Paulo Coelho
A warrior takes every opportunity to teach himself.
Paulo Coelho
As she had been walking from the ward to that room, she had felt such pure hatred that now she had no more rancor left in her heart. She had finally allowed her negative feelings to surface, feelings that had been repressed for years in her soul. She had actually FELT them, and they were no longer necessary, they could leave.
Paulo Coelho
I write from my soul. This is the reason that critics don't hurt me, because it is me.
Paulo Coelho
Open your heart and listen to what it is telling you. Follow your dreams, because only a man who is unashamed of himself can manifest the glory of God.
Paulo Coelho
Only cowards hide behind silence.
Paulo Coelho
I refuse to walk faintly through life only to arrive safely at death!
Paulo Coelho
God judges a tree by its fruits and not by its roots.
Paulo Coelho
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
Whenever we need to make a very important decision it is best to trust our instincts, because reason usually tries to remove us from our dream, saying that the time is not yet right. Reason is afraid of defeat, but intuition enjoys life and its challenges.
Paulo Coelho
