More quotes by Paulo Coelho
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
No matter how many detours and adjustments it made, the caravan moved toward the same compass point. Once obstacles were overcome, it returned to its course, sighting on a star that indicated the location of the oasis.
Paulo Coelho
I love you', though, were three words she had often heard during her twenty-two years, and it seemed to her that they were now completely devoid of meaning, because they had never turned into anything serious or deep, never translated into a lasting relationship.
Paulo Coelho
How does light enter a house? If the windows are open. How does light enter a human? If the door of love is open.
Paulo Coelho
Courage in the path is what makes the path manifest itself.
Paulo Coelho
She looked at her own past, and, for the first time, she forgave herself: it hadn't been her fault, but the fault of that insecure little boy, who had given up after the first attempt.
Paulo Coelho
I'm going away, he said. And I want you to know that I'm coming back. I love you because.... Don't say anything, Fatima interrupted. One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
Paulo Coelho
God only rarely reveals the future. When he does so, it is for one reason: it's a future that was written so as to be altered.
Paulo Coelho
Because when everyone dreams, but only a few realize their dreams, that makes cowards of us all.
Paulo Coelho
Life is a journey. How we travel is really up to us. We can just flow with the tide or follow our own dreams.
Paulo Coelho
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
Omens are a language, it's the alphabet we develop to speak to the world's soul, or the universe's, or God's, whatever name you want to give it. Like an alphabet, it is individual, you only learn it by making mistakes, and that keeps you from globalizing the spiritual quest.
Paulo Coelho
And he never judges someone else's suffering.
Paulo Coelho
... keep practicing. After a great deal of practice, we no longer think about all the necessary movements we must make they become part of our existence. Before reaching that stage, however, you must practice and repeat. And if that's not enough, you must practice and repeat some more.
Paulo Coelho
Our souls are prisoners of the terror of death, and the day is beautiful.
Paulo Coelho
you would have to give up all else, I alone would expect you to be your sole and exclusive standard
Paulo Coelho
Sometimes, certain of God's blessings arrive by shattering all the windows. (Brida)
Paulo Coelho
He is also wary of people who think they know the path.
Paulo Coelho
And so I am this pilgrim - if I can somehow answer your question - who's constantly amazed by this journey. Who is learning a new thing every single day. But who's not accumulating knowledge, because then it becomes a very heavy burden in your back. I am this person who is proud to be a pilgrim, and who's trying to honor his journey.
Paulo Coelho
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
