More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
She [the Virgin Mary] was normal. She had already had other children. The Bible tells us that Jesus had two brothers. Virginity, as it relates to Jesus, is based on a different thing: Mary initiated a new generation of grace. A new era began. She is the cosmic bride, Earth, which opens to the heavens and allows itself to be fertilized.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one.
Paulo Coelho

Over-anxiety ultimately banishes every trace of joy from life.

Paulo Coelho
Image
When faced by any loss, there’s no point in trying to recover what has been, it’s best to take advantage of the large space that opens up before us and fill it with something new.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am going to die. But I am going to die in peace because I lived my life as intensely as I could.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost?
Paulo Coelho
Image
Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or - such is the pleasure they experience - they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.
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
If only we could be enlightened enough to be able to listen in the silence.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Retiring and discovering that you no longer have enough energy to enjoy life and dying a few years out of sheer boredom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is an act of faith in another person, not an act of surrender.
Paulo Coelho
