More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
I'm alive. When I'm eating that's all I think about. If I'm on the march, I just concentrate on marching. If I have to fight,it will be just as good a day as any to die. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. Life is the moment we are living now.
Paulo Coelho
You should paint those visions of paradise rather than just talking about them.
Paulo Coelho
That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there.
Paulo Coelho
