We must marry, have children, reproduce the species.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm not worried about tomorrow, because God is there already, waiting for me.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
You say they create their own reality, said Veronika, but what is reality?
Paulo Coelho
Image
We can see the Divine in each speck of dust, but that doesn't stop us from wiping it away with a wet sponge. The Divine doesn't disappear it's transformed into the clean surface.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Respect those who grew up and learned alongside you. Respect those who taught you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
From the moment we are born, people tell us that the world is like this and like that, this way, that way. It is natural that - for a certain period of time - we end up believing what we are told. But we must soon push these ideas aside and discover our own way of living reality.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Each human being was given two qualities: power and the gift. Power directs us towards our destiny the gift obliges us to share with others what is best in us.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
As he mused about these things, he realized that he had to choose between thinking of himself as the poor victim of a thief and as an adventurer in quest of his treasure.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must at all costs avoid saying no because people prefer those who say yes, and this allows us to survive in hostile territory.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never make a fuss-it might attract the attention of an enemy tribe.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We forget that the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
Lovers need to know how to lose themselves and then how to find themselves again.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A responsible Warrior is one who has proved able to observe and to learn.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't ask permission to be happy. Don't beg for forgiveness. Just do it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The person who does not make a choice dies in the eyes of the Lord, even though he continues to breathe and to walk about the streets. For a man has to choose, therein lies his strength: in the power of his decisions.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must play music quietly, talk quietly, weep in private, because I am the all-powerful Zahir, who lays down the rules and determines the distance between railway tracks, the meaning of success, the best way to love, the importance of rewards.
Paulo Coelho
