Paulo Coelho

The world is being created and destroyed in this very moment. Whoever you met will reappear, whoever you lost will return. Don’t betray the grace that was bestowed on you. Understand what is going on inside you and you will understand what is going on inside everyone else. Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace. I came with a sword.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Warrior of the Light knows that everyone is afraid of everyone else.
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
Be careful! Never show your superiors that you are superior to them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I've noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down, but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But how will I know who my Soulmate is?” Brida felt that this was one of the most important questions she had ever asked in her life. By taking risks’ she said to Brida. ‘ By risking failure, disappointment, disillusion, but never ceasing in you search for Love. As long as you keep looking, you will triumph in the end.
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
If there is suffering, then it's best to accept it, because it won't go away just because you pretend it's not there. If there is joy, then it's best to accept that too, even though you're afraid it might end one day.
Paulo Coelho
