Image
Not knowing whether to wait or to forget is the worst kind of suffering.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
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
Image
Collective madness is called sanity.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Truth resides where there is faith.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Retiring and discovering that you no longer have enough energy to enjoy life and dying a few years out of sheer boredom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible. We grow up with this idea, and as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of prejudice, fear and guilt. There comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But know that it's still there.
Paulo Coelho
Image
They spent days, nights, weeks, and years talking, never accepting the fact that, good or bad, an idea only exists when someone tries to put it into practice.
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
Tears are words that need to be written.
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
Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.
Paulo Coelho
Image
To each of man's ages the Lord gives its own anxieties.
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
The darkest hour was just before dawn.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The warrior of light listens to what his opponent has to say. He only fights if absolutely necessary.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The act of discovering who we are will force us to accept that we can go further than we think.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He who loves has conquered the world and has no fear of losing anything. True love is an act of total surrender.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The present moment, though, is outside of time, it’s Eternity. In India they use the word “karma” for lack of any better term. But it’s a concept that’s rarely given a proper explanation. It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
Paulo Coelho

Our body remains alive, yet sooner or later our soul will receive a mortal blow. The perfect crime--for we don't know who murdered our joy, what their motives were, or where the guilty parties are to be found.
Paulo Coelho
