Paulo Coelho
Image
Open your heart and listen to what it is telling you. Follow your dreams, because only a man who is unashamed of himself can manifest the glory of God.
Paulo Coelho

During any dance to which we surrender with joy, the brain loses it's controlling power, and the heart takes up the reins of the body.
Paulo Coelho
Image
She wasn't afraid of difficulties, what frightened her was having to choose one particular path. Choosing a path meant missing out on others. She had a whole life to live and she was always thinking that, in the future, she might regret the choices she made now.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Only two things can reveal life's great secrets: suffering and love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Lovers need to know how to lose themselves and then how to find themselves again.
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.
