Paulo Coelho
Image
Why don't people's hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams? [...] Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory, who silently fulfil the role life has given them. I want to be able to do this because the most important things, those that shape our existence, are precisely the ones that never show their faces.
Paulo Coelho
Image

What they forget is that, from Ancient Greece on, the people who returned from battle were either dead on their shields or stronger, despite and because of their scars.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
signs are an extremely personal language that we develop throughout our lives, by trial and error, until we begin to understand that God is guiding us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sex was always surrounded by taboos, and I don't see it necessarily as a manifestation of evil. I think that sexuality is first and foremost the way that God chooses for us to be here on earth, to enjoy this energy of love in the physical plane.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is one long training session in preparation for what will come. Life and death lose their meaning there are only challenges to be met with joy and overcome with tranquility.
Paulo Coelho
Image
They spent days, nights, weeks, and years talking, never accepting the fact that, good or bad, an idea only exists when someone tries to put it into practice.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Empty your mind, stop thinking about anything, simply be.
Paulo Coelho
