He also knows the importance of intuition.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
We are our own greatest surprise.
Paulo Coelho
Image
My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing beauty of life once more. It's happened before, it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive--I'll find love again.
Paulo Coelho

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
No one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
As long as you still have one bridge left, nothing is lost. But from the moment that you cannot even understand the storytelling or the music of other cultures anymore, then we become strangers to each other and the situation will become very complicated.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Judging oneself to be inferior to other people was one of the worst acts of pride because it was the most destructive way of being different.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I can speak to my soul only when the two of us are off exploring deserts or cities or mountains or roads.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I have won important things for myself, but I'm going to destroy them, because I tell myself they have lost their meaning. I know that is not true. I know they are important, and that if I destroy them, I'll be destroying myself, as well.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Impossible is just an opinion.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When I had nothing more to lose, I was given everything. When I ceased to be who I am, I found myself. When I experienced humiliation and yet kept on walking, I understood that I was free to choose my destiny.
Paulo Coelho

Waking up each morning to a hysterical alarm clock on the bedside table.
