Paulo Coelho
Image
As I don't know about tomorrow, I never save the best for later.
Paulo Coelho

Everything we see… is just the visible part of reality.
Paulo Coelho

Sometimes the best of gods gift's arrive by the shattering of all the window panes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm like everyone else—I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death. They thought nobody can make a living from being a writer in Brazil. They were not wrong.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must play music quietly, talk quietly, weep in private, because I am the all-powerful Zahir, who lays down the rules and determines the distance between railway tracks, the meaning of success, the best way to love, the importance of rewards.
Paulo Coelho

Believing that your parents are always right.
Paulo Coelho
Image
From the moment we are born, people tell us that the world is like this and like that, this way, that way. It is natural that - for a certain period of time - we end up believing what we are told. But we must soon push these ideas aside and discover our own way of living reality.
Paulo Coelho

But if you've ever felt love, you'll know how painful it is to suffer for love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Lie down on the ground and feel the planet's heart beating.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you travel you experience, in a very practical way, the act of rebirth. You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, and on most journeys you don't even understand the language the people speak....You begin to be more accessible to others, because they may be able to help you in difficult situations.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes I need to be a stranger to myself. Only then my soul can show me not what I want, but what I need to see.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Do not seek to be loved at any price, because Love has no price.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He manages to balance Rigor and Mercy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I start to think that I'm losing the love I have without having yet won the love I hope to win.
