Paulo Coelho
Fear reaches only to the point where the unavoidable begins from there on, it loses its meaning. And all we have left is the hope that we are making the right decision.
Paulo Coelho
When you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal.
Paulo Coelho
No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone
Paulo Coelho
The parents always insisted on telling their child that their secret friends didn't exist - perhaps because they had forgotten that they too had spoken to their angel at one time. Or, who knows, perhaps they thought they lived in a world where there was no longer any place for angels.
Paulo Coelho
Life sometimes separates people so that they can realize how much they mean to each other.
Paulo Coelho
