More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
If everyone there just lived their lives and let others do the same, God would be in every moment, in every grain of mustard, in the fragment of cloud that is there and then gone the following moment. God was there and yet people believed they still had to go on looking, because it seemed too simple to accept that life was an act of faith.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over & over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Because when everyone dreams, but only a few realize their dreams, that makes cowards of us all.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Try to be good, you'll be judged. Try to be yourself, you'll be criticized. Therefore, choose the second option. Evil uses the nice good people as puppets. It appears dressed as a poor guy, telling them that he needs help...When these people realize they have been used, it is already too late.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Nothing wrong with appearing to be a fool, if what you are doing is intelligent.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything in life is about sharing it is part of the human condition
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think that, with age, people come to realize that death is inevitable. And we need to learn to face it with serenity, wisdom and resignation. Death often frees us from a lot of senseless sufferings.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you must choose a new path, do not bring old experiences with you. Those who strike out afresh, but who attempt to retain a little of the old life, end up torn apart by their own memories.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Most human beings still cannot trust love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?
Paulo Coelho
Image
People are reading more and writing more because of the internet. So the virtual world is a way for me to listen to my readers and interact with my readers. It is a way that they can voice their opinion.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Beware of anyone who tries to please you all the time.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Each human being has his or her own sexual identity and should be able to exercise that identity without guilt as long as they do not force that sexual identity on others.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I write because I need to share my thoughts with the audience.
Paulo Coelho
Image
For a writer you have to be interested in different cultures, different backgrounds. You are not there to write only about your village. You're there to show a bit of your village, but also to understand other villages.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Forgive your enemy, but do not mistake him for a friend.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That's how love got lost ... when we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn't appear.
Paulo Coelho
