More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
Sex was always surrounded by taboos, and I don't see it necessarily as a manifestation of evil. I think that sexuality is first and foremost the way that God chooses for us to be here on earth, to enjoy this energy of love in the physical plane.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't know if the books are making the world a much better place. I don't write with that objective. What I know is that I see my readers creating a critical mass so we can at least understand this world in a different way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Lord only demands of us what is within our capabilities.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Moving slowly enables us to learn faster.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A life is never useless. Each soul that came down to Earth is here for a reason.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you want to achieve your objectives, you have to be prepared for a daily dose of pain or discomfort. At first, it's unpleasant and demotivating, but in time you come to realise that it's part of the process of feeling good, and the moment arrives when, if you don't feel pain, you have a sense that the exercises aren't having the desired effect.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The third indication that our dreams are dead is peace.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Do not forget: seek to win all your battles, including those you fight against yourself. Do not fear the scars. Do not be afraid of victory.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Any given thing on the face of the earth could reveal the history of all things
Paulo Coelho
Image
People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of. It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you have a work instead of a job, every day is holiday
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we are living our dream, the difficulties we encounter make sense.
Paulo Coelho
Image
of all the weapons of destruction that man could invent, the most terrible-and the most powerful-was the word. Daggers and spears left traces of blood arrows could be seen at a distance. Poisons were detected in the end and avoided. But the word managed to destroy without leaving clues.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't think about what you've left behind. If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.
Paulo Coelho
Image
On your journey to your dream, be ready to face oasis and deserts. In both cases, don't stop
Paulo Coelho
Image
Beware of making a woman cry. God is counting her tears.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Useful men, who do useful things, don't mind being treated as useless. But the useless always judge themselves as being important and hide all their incompetence behind authority.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I understand that everything is connected, that all roads meet, and that all rivers flow into the same sea.
Paulo Coelho

We learn what we need, Not what we'd want to
Paulo Coelho
