Duty never stopped anyone from following their dreams.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In the cycle of nature there is no such thing as victory or defeat there is only movement.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The person who is right is the person who is the strongest, in this case, paradoxically, it's the cowards who are the brave ones, and they manage to impose their ideas on everyone else.
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

Paulo Coelho

To injure your opponent is to injure yourself.
Paulo Coelho

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
An enthusiastic heart finds opportunities everywhere.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We lose many things simply out of our fear of losing them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We always have a tendency to see those things that do not exist and to be blind to the great lessons that are right there before our eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must play music quietly, talk quietly, weep in private, because I am the all-powerful Zahir, who lays down the rules and determines the distance between railway tracks, the meaning of success, the best way to love, the importance of rewards.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Although anxiety is part of life, never let it control you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I was arrested three times and tortured once.
Paulo Coelho
