Waking up each morning to a hysterical alarm clock on the bedside table.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am my own best friend and my own worst enemy. Before coming here, I was thinking I don't deserve it, that i wouldn't be able to meet your expectations, and that you had probably chosen the wrong candidate. At the same time, my heart was telling me that i was being rewarded because i hadn't given up and had fought to the end
Paulo Coelho
Image
Haven't you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem
Paulo Coelho
Image
Transformations always occur during moments of crisis.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Dream and don't ask too many questions, or fear will overcome your feelings.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others ad fight for your rights.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The desert is a capricious lady, and sometimes she drives men crazy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In the southern hemisphere, covering the Christmas tree with fake snow even though winter has nothing to do with the birth of Christ.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love creates bridges where it would seem they were impossible.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I want to be a writer, not an engineer who writes books.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule. Never lie to yourself.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't get anywhere meditating, she said. I see people sitting there with their eyes closed, a smile on their lips or else grave-faced and arrogant, concentrating on absolutely nothing, convinced that they're in touch with God or with the Goddess. So instead, let's listen to some music together.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We always have a tendency to see those things that do not exist and to be blind to the great lessons that are right there before our eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's better to live cherishing a dream than face the possibilty that it might all come to nothing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Change. But start slowly, because direction is more important than speed
Paulo Coelho
Image
For those that were never wounded by love, they will never be able to say: “I lived”. Because they haven’t.
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
What people regard as vanity—leaving great works, having children, acting in such a way as to prevent one's name from being forgotten—I regard as the highest expression of human dignity.
Paulo Coelho
