Image
Open your heart and listen to what it is telling you. Follow your dreams, because only a man who is unashamed of himself can manifest the glory of God.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Using every means possible to show that, although you're just an ordinary human being, you're far above other mortals.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When a sense of dissatisfaction persists, that means it was placed there by God for one reason only: you need to change everything and move forward.
Paulo Coelho
Image
My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we are high up, everything looks very small. Our glories and our sadnesses cease to be important. We have left whatever we won or lost down below. From the top of a mountain you can see how large the world is and how wide the horizon.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There is nothing worse than the feeling that no one cares whether we exists or not, that no one is interested in what we have to say about life, and that the world can continue turning without our awkward presence
Paulo Coelho

Following fashion trends, however ridiculous or uncomfortable.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
There was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
We must not confuse humility with false modesty or servility.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you travel you experience, in a very practical way, the act of rebirth. You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, and on most journeys you don't even understand the language the people speak....You begin to be more accessible to others, because they may be able to help you in difficult situations.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The warrior of light listens to what his opponent has to say. He only fights if absolutely necessary.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Few take up the burden of their own victory most give up their dreams when these become impossible.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one owns anything. Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realize that nothing really belongs to them. And if nothing belongs to me, then there's no point wasting my time looking after things that aren't mine.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one places her dreams in the hands of those who might destroy them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the pricesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What they forget is that, from Ancient Greece on, the people who returned from battle were either dead on their shields or stronger, despite and because of their scars.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left!
Paulo Coelho
