Image
I needed to choose between the one thing that really filled m thoughts-my love for that woman-and losing my freedom and all the choices that the future promised me. To be honest, the decision was easy. -Lukas Jessen-Petersen
Paulo Coelho
Image
She wants to drink that man too, and then she can forget forever the cheap wine that you gulp down and that makes you feel drunk, but always leaves you with a headache and an empty space in your soul.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Simply having the courage to say senseless things made me euphoric. I was free, with no need to seek or to give explanations for what I was doing. This freedom lifted me to the heavens - where greater love, one that forgives everything and never allows you to feel abandoned, once again enveloped me.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In order to dominate the soul you must also learn to dominate the body. And in order to dominate the body you cannot fear pain.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A life without a cause is a life without effect.
Paulo Coelho
Image
How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?
Paulo Coelho
Image
He knows that there are occasional pauses in the struggle.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Useful men, who do useful things, don't mind being treated as useless. But the useless always judge themselves as being important and hide all their incompetence behind authority.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The story of one person is the story of all of humanity.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And they will return one day knowing the miracle of the heavens and of all the world. God knew what he was doing when he drew their attention to the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. If he hadn’t wanted them to eat it, he would never have mentioned it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
For the warrior of light there are no ends, only means. Life carries him from unknown to unknown. Each moment is filled with this thrilling mystery: the warrior does not know where he came from or where he is going.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Superclass tries to promote its values. Ordinary people complain of divine injustice, they envy power, and it pains them to see others having fun. They don’t understand that no one is having fun, that everyone is worried and insecure, and that what the jewels, cars, and fat wallets conceal is a huge inferiority complex.
Paulo Coelho
Image
To travel is the experience of ceasing to be the person you are trying to be, and becoming the person you really are.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Evil had to manifest itself and fulfill its role, so that ultimately Good could prevail. [...] Evil needs to manifest itself, for them to understand the value of Good.
Paulo Coelho
Image
With love, there are no rules. The heart decides and what it decides is all that really matters.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are all a part of the divine spark. All have a purpose in creation and that purpose is called Love. That love, however, shouldn't be concentrated in just one person, it should be scattered throughout the world, waiting to be discovered. Wake up that love. What is gone cannot return. What is about to arrive needs to be recognized.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you have a past with which you feel dissatisfied, then forget it, now. Imagine a new story for your life and believe in it. Focus only on the moments when you achieved what you desired, and that strength will help you to get what you want.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There is a language that is beyond words. If I can learn to decipher that language without words, I will be able to decipher the world.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes it is impossible to stop the river of life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never talking to strangers. Saying nasty things about the neighbors.
Paulo Coelho
