More quotes by 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
Transformations always occur during moments of crisis.
Paulo Coelho
Avoiding depression with large daily doses of television.
Paulo Coelho
Simply having the courage to say senseless things made me euphoric. I was free, with no need to seek or to give explanations for what I was doing. This freedom lifted me to the heavens - where greater love, one that forgives everything and never allows you to feel abandoned, once again enveloped me.
Paulo Coelho
Only two things can reveal life's great secrets: suffering and love.
Paulo Coelho
Judging oneself to be inferior to other people was one of the worst acts of pride because it was the most destructive way of being different.
Paulo Coelho
Discipline and freedom are not mutually exclusive but mutually dependent because otherwise, you'd sink into chaos.
Paulo Coelho
Love simply is. That is the testament of Athena or Sherine or Hagia Sofia - love is. No definitions. Love and don't ask too many questions. Just love.
Paulo Coelho
When mouths close, it’s because there’s something important to be said.
Paulo Coelho
I cannot lose the one thing that keeps me alive : hope -
Paulo Coelho
Feelings should always be allowed to be free. You should not judge a future love by past suffering.
Paulo Coelho
I have won important things for myself, but I'm going to destroy them, because I tell myself they have lost their meaning. I know that is not true. I know they are important, and that if I destroy them, I'll be destroying myself, as well.
Paulo Coelho
People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being. Maybe that's why they give up on it so early, too.
Paulo Coelho
Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.
Paulo Coelho
Even if you slept with every man on Earth, my love will still survive.
Paulo Coelho
The Superclass tries to promote its values. Ordinary people complain of divine injustice, they envy power, and it pains them to see others having fun. They don’t understand that no one is having fun, that everyone is worried and insecure, and that what the jewels, cars, and fat wallets conceal is a huge inferiority complex.
Paulo Coelho
We must get rid of the idea of fulfilling what people expect us to do, and start to do what we expect from our lives.
Paulo Coelho
If we resist the temptation to allow other people to define who we are, then we will gradually be able to let the sun inside our own soul shine forth.
Paulo Coelho
That's how love got lost ... when we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn't appear.
Paulo Coelho
My brained warned me, but my heart didn't want to take its advice.
Paulo Coelho
