Image
Every second of the search is an encounter with God. When I have been truly searching for my treasure, every day has been luminous...I've discovered things along the way that I never would have seen had I not had the courage to try things that seemed impossible for a shepherd to achieve.
Paulo Coelho
Image
First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our dreams are our own, and only we can know the effort required to keep them alive.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every human being should know two languages: the language of society and the language of signs. One serves to communicate with other people, the other serves to understand God's messages.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Coincidence is the language of the stars, for something to happen, so many forces have to be put into action.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's a good idea always to do something relaxing prior to making an important decision in your life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves.
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
The desert is a capricious lady, and sometimes she drives men crazy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't know what to do. I only know that it's taken me years to understand that life was pushing me in a direction I didn't want to go in.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Because i've suffered. Because many times in my life i have tried to love with all my heart, and my love has wound up being trampled or betrayed.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes life is very mean: a person can spend days, weeks, months and years without feeling new. Then, when a door opens - a positive avalanche pours in. One moment, you have nothing, the next, you have more than you can cope with.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I simply believe that a book has a journey to make, and should not be condemned to being stuck on a shelf… Let’s leave our books free to travel, then, to be touched by other hands, and enjoyed by other eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't ask permission to be happy. Don't beg for forgiveness. Just do it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't see any reason why I should look for someone who never took the trouble to love me.
Paulo Coelho

You can only learn when you teach.

A lot of people think something is right, and so that thing becomes right.
