Quote

My turning point was my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. It was then that I, who had dedicated most of my life to penetrate the 'secrets' of the universe, realized that there are no secrets. Life is and will always be a mystery.

Image
Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I will be capable of loving, regardless of whether I am loved in return, Of giving, when I have nothing, Of working happily, even in the midst of difficulties, Of holding out my hand, even when utterly alone and abandoned, Of drying my tears, even while I weep, Of believing, even when no one believes in me.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I must have no fear of failure. It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the Master Work.
Paulo Coelho

A lot of people think something is right, and so that thing becomes right.

If you really want to dream, be fully awake.
Paulo Coelho

No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.
Paulo Coelho

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. Dream is also just a word until you decide to fight for it with all your enthusiasm and commitment

If one day I could get out of here, I would allow myself to be crazy. Everyone is indeed crazy, but the craziest are the ones who don't know they're crazy they just keep repeating what others tell them to.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
Paulo Coelho
Image
So long as you do no harm to another, change your opinion once in a while. Contradict yourself without being embarrassed. This is your right. It doesn't matter what others think -because that's what they will think, in any case.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think the big danger of madness is not madness itself, but the habit of madness. What I discovered during the time I spent in the asylum is that I could choose madness and spend my whole life without working, doing nothing, pretending to be mad. It was a very strong temptation.
Paulo Coelho

Many times the wrong train took me to the right place.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Remember the saying, What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger? It's true!
Paulo Coelho
Image
When there is no turning back, then we should concern ourselves only with the best way of going forward.

The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.

The only way to make the right decision is to find out which is the wrong decision, to examine that other path without fear, and only then decide.
