More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
Every second of the search is an encounter with God. When I have been truly searching for my treasure, every day has been luminous...I've discovered things along the way that I never would have seen had I not had the courage to try things that seemed impossible for a shepherd to achieve.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The warrior knows that he is free to choose his desires, and he makes these decisions with courage, detachment, and - sometimes - with just a touch of madness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He uses common sense to judge not the intentions of an action but its consequences.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The happiness of one does not mean the unhappiness of the others.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You're mistaken, Father. You were in paradise, but you didn't recognize it. It's the same with most people in this world they seek suffering in the most joyous of places because they think they are unworthy of happiness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one ever loses anyone. We are all one soul that needs to continue growing and developing in order for the world to carry on and for us all to meet once again.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Take these, said the old man, holding out a white stone and a black stone that had been embedded at the center of the breastplate. They are called Urim and Thummim. The black signifies 'yes,' and the white 'no.' When you are unable to read the omens, they will help you to do so. Always ask an objective question.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am not saying that I am different, but I don't have emotional pain. I may be angry and I may be peaceful, but no emotional pain.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Waking up each morning to a hysterical alarm clock on the bedside table.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Although I have the colors, only the Lord can mix them with such harmony.
Paulo Coelho
Image
People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am not happy, and the quest for happiness as a principal objective is not part of my world. Of course, ever since I can remember, I have done what I felt like doing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Those who never take risks can only see other people's failures.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Outer beauty is inner beauty made visible, and it manifests itself in the light that flows in our eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or - such is the pleasure they experience - they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
An enemy always represents a weakness. This might be fear of physical pain, but it could also be a premature sense of victory or the desire to abandon the fight because it is no longer worthwhile.
Paulo Coelho
