Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
Omens are a language, it's the alphabet we develop to speak to the world's soul, or the universe's, or God's, whatever name you want to give it. Like an alphabet, it is individual, you only learn it by making mistakes, and that keeps you from globalizing the spiritual quest.
Paulo Coelho
Image
My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing beauty of life once more. It's happened before, it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive--I'll find love again.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we venture in that unfamiliar sea, we trust blindly in those who guide us, believing that they know more than we do.
Paulo Coelho
Image
People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

Happiness: there are a series of rules, and if you fail to follow them, your conscious mind will refuse to accept the idea that you're happy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Just as your hand has the power to hide the sun, mediocrity has the power to hide your inner light. Do not blame others for your own incompetence.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's only those who are persistent and willing to study things deeply, who achieve the master work.
Paulo Coelho

Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.

He is also wary of people who think they know the path.
