We are not worshipping anyone or anything, we are simply communing with creation.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Getting married, having children, and staying together long after all love has died, saying that it's for the good of the children (who are, apparently, deaf to the constant rows).
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is like the Internet: sometimes is almost impossible to connect.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes Evil pursues the Warrior of the Light, and when it does, he calmly invites it into his tent.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
Paulo Coelho

This is for you,' he (the Alchemist) said, holding one of the parts (of gold) out to the monk. 'It's for your generosity to the pilgrims.' 'But this payment goes well beyond my generosity,' the monk responded. 'Don't say that again. Life might be listening, and give you less the next time.

It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the master work. Now, I'm beginning what I could have started ten years ago. But I'm happy at least that I didn't wait twenty years.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A life is never useless. Each soul that came down to Earth is here for a reason.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What is I? It's what you are, not what others make of you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I believe it is better to live a dream rather than to simply dream it. The dream is the start of something greater, something that impels us to make daring decisions. And it's true that the person who pursues a dream takes many risks. But the person who does not runs risks that are even greater.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything is allowed, except interrupting a manifestation of love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
We must have a university degree even if we never get a job in the area of knowledge we were forced to study.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
On some nights, he has nowhere to sleep, on others he suffers from insomnia. That's just how it is, thinks the warrior. I was the one who chose to walk this path.
Paulo Coelho

Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.
