More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
Charisma- the divine force that manifests itself in men and women. The supernatural power we don't need to show to anyone because everyone can see it, even usually insensitive people. But it only happens when we're naked, when we die to the world and are reborn to ourselves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything is allowed, except interrupting a manifestation of love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Judging yourself to be full of virtue paralyses. Judging yourself to be full of guilt also paralyses.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Use fear as an engine, not as a brake.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Finding one important thing in your life doesn’t mean you have to give up all the other important things.
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

None of us can know what tomorrow will hold, because each day has its good and its bad moments.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho

Believe that if Allah wants you to know something, someone will tell you.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
The soil needs the seed and the seed needs the soil. The one only has meaning with the other. It is the same thing with human beings. When male knowledge joins with female transformation, then the great magical union is created, and its name is wisdom. Wisdom means both to know and to transform.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Even if you slept with every man on Earth, my love will still survive.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Getting married, having children, and staying together long after all love has died, saying that it's for the good of the children (who are, apparently, deaf to the constant rows).
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you find your way you cannot be scared. You need to be brave enough to take wrong steps. The deceptions, failures, lack of enthusiasm, are tools that God places in our way to reveal the path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you # travel , you experience, in a very practical way, the act of # rebirth .
Paulo Coelho
Image
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. You've got to find the treasure, so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Fashion may renew itself every six months but one thing remains the same: bouncers always wear black.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When someone wants something, they must know why they are fighting. This is the only reason to seek a reward.
Paulo Coelho

Borges said there are only four stories to tell: a love story between two people, a love story between three people, the struggle for power and the voyage. All of us writers rewrite these same stories ad infinitum.

Marrying the first person who offers you a decent position in society. Love can wait.
