An enemy always represents a weakness. This might be fear of physical pain, but it could also be a premature sense of victory or the desire to abandon the fight because it is no longer worthwhile.
Paulo Coelho
Image
However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Accumulating love brings luck, accumulating hatred brings calamity.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image

I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.

Paulo Coelho
Image
A bird in a cage is safe but God didn't create birds for that.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot reach it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Although anxiety is part of life, never let it control you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our human condition makes us tend to share only the best of ourselves, because we are always searching for love and approval
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The universe conspires to help the dreamer
Paulo Coelho
Image
The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Treasure is uncovered by the force of flowing water, and it is buried by the same currents.
Paulo Coelho
