Join with those who sing, tell stories, talk pleasure in life, and have joy in their eyes, because joy is contagious, and can prevent others from becoming paralysed by depression, loneliness and difficulties.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life moves very fast. It rushes us from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When there is no turning back, then we should concern ourselves only with the best way of going forward.
Paulo Coelho
Image
For a writer you have to be interested in different cultures, different backgrounds. You are not there to write only about your village. You're there to show a bit of your village, but also to understand other villages.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That is why I write - to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Heaven and Earth are meeting in a storm that, when it's over, will leave the air purer and the leaves fertile, but before that happens, houses will be destroyed, centuries- old trees will topple, paradises will be flooded.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Each human being has his or her own sexual identity and should be able to exercise that identity without guilt as long as they do not force that sexual identity on others.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm not saying that love always takes you to heaven. Your life can become a nightmare. But that said, it is worth taking the risk.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love with no boundaries. Your future depends on your capacity to love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You must find your treasure in order to make sense of everything you discovered on the path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I kissed him hard. The few people in the bar must have been thinking that all they were seeing was just a kiss. They didn't know that this kiss stood for my whole life - and his life, as well. The life of anyone who has waited, dreamed, and searched for their true path. The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't let yourself be weighed down by what other people think, because in a few years, in a few decades, or in a few centuries, that way of thinking will have changed. Live now what others will only live in the future.
Paulo Coelho
Image
This was freedom to feel what the heart desired with no thought to the opinion of the rest... She was free, for love liberates.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Hell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: “I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must buy jewelry it identifies us with our tribe, just as body piercing identifies those of a different tribe.
Paulo Coelho
Image
God is love, generosity and forgiveness if we believe in this, we will never allow our weaknesses to paralyse us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.
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
I want to be a writer, not an engineer who writes books.
Paulo Coelho
