Paulo Coelho
Never apologize for being yourself.
Paulo Coelho
The River adapts itself to whatever route prove possible, but the river never forgets its one objective: the sea. So fragile at its source, it gradually gathers the strength of the other rivers in encounters. And, after a certain point, its power is absolute.
Paulo Coelho
Our soul is governed by four invisible forces: love, death, power and time.
Paulo Coelho
When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.
Paulo Coelho
So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.
Paulo Coelho
When every day seems the same, it is because we have stopped noticing the good things that appear in our lives.
Paulo Coelho
Outer beauty is inner beauty made visible, and it manifests itself in the light that flows in our eyes.
Paulo Coelho
