Image
In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Her silence was the blank space between the words.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our great goal in life is to love. The rest is silence.
Paulo Coelho

The story of one person is the story of all of humanity.
Paulo Coelho

In a world where everyone struggles to survive whatever the cost, how could one judge those people who decide to die? No one can judge. Each person knows the extent of their own suffering or the total absence of meaning in their lives.
Paulo Coelho

The best way to be original is to be yourself.
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
And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
Why don't people's hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams? [...] Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we step out of our normal world and leave behind us all the usual barriers and prejudices, we tend to become more adventurous.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love appears and says: You think you're heading towards a specific point, but the whole justification for the goal's existence lies in your love for it. Rest a little,but as soon as you can, get up and carry on. Because ever since your goal found out that you were traveling toward it, it has been running to meet you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes you have to travel a long way to find what is near
Paulo Coelho
Image
Whenever a new situation presented itself, you had to remain cool and distant
Paulo Coelho
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
Any given thing on the face of the earth could reveal the history of all things
Paulo Coelho
Image
Dream and don't ask too many questions, or fear will overcome your feelings.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I've noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down, but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.
Paulo Coelho
