Paulo Coelho
We are here because we are made by God, we will return to God. So people who think that they are something, they are totally wrong. And this is the most beautiful thing in life, it is that we don't own anything. So, everything is ours in the sense that we have the world to explore and not things to carry, a burden to carry.
Paulo Coelho
Eat when it's time to eat. And move along when it's time to move along.
Paulo Coelho
You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points.
Paulo Coelho
God, I am trying to recover my faith. Please don't abandon me in the middle of this adventure, I prayed, pushing my fears aside.
Paulo Coelho
Don't ask permission. If it does not work, you can apologize later.
Paulo Coelho
I'm like everyone else—I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.
Paulo Coelho
Love is an act of faith, not an exchange. Contradictions are what make love grow. Conflicts are what allow love to remain by our side.
Paulo Coelho
We have to take advantage when luck is on our side, and do as much to help it as it's doing to help us.
Paulo Coelho
Follow your dreams, transform your life, take the path that leads to God. Perform your miracles. Cure. Make prophecies. Listen to your guardian angel. Transform yourself. Be a warrior, and be happy as you wage the good fight. Take risks.
Paulo Coelho
When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left!
Paulo Coelho
