Quote

However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.

Today, writers want to impress other writers.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory, who silently fulfil the role life has given them. I want to be able to do this because the most important things, those that shape our existence, are precisely the ones that never show their faces.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are neither worse nor better than those who eye us critically.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I needed to choose between the one thing that really filled m thoughts-my love for that woman-and losing my freedom and all the choices that the future promised me. To be honest, the decision was easy. -Lukas Jessen-Petersen
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must at all costs avoid saying no because people prefer those who say yes, and this allows us to survive in hostile territory.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The person who does not make a choice dies in the eyes of the Lord, even though he continues to breathe and to walk about the streets. For a man has to choose, therein lies his strength: in the power of his decisions.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Waking up each morning to a hysterical alarm clock on the bedside table.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must never forget that spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love. And with love, there are no rules.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Angels are visible to those who accept the light and break the pact made with darkness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You have a personal legend to fulfil, period. It is of no matter if others support you, or criticise you, ignore or tolerate you. You are doing that because that is your destiny on this earth, and the source of any joy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Avoiding depression with large daily doses of television.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death. They thought nobody can make a living from being a writer in Brazil. They were not wrong.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I love you because all the loves in the world are like different rivers flowing into the same lake where they meet and are transformed into a single love that becomes rain and blesses the earth.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is the force that brings us back together, in order to condense the experience dispersed in many lives and many parts of the world.
Paulo Coelho
Image
On some nights, he has nowhere to sleep, on others he suffers from insomnia. That's just how it is, thinks the warrior. I was the one who chose to walk this path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Dreaming carries no risks. The dangerous thing is trying to transform your dreams into reality.
Paulo Coelho
Image
So the Warrior fights the Good Fight and he helps others, even though he does not quite understand why.
Paulo Coelho
