Why are we smiling when we loathe each other?’ ‘Why do we sell happiness to the readers of this magazine when we are profoundly unhappy ourselves, the slaves of fame?
Paulo Coelho
Image
What is a personal calling? It is God's blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on Earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend. However, we don't all have the courage to confront our own dream.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That's the problem, we do get used to things.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Before a dream is realized the soul of the world tests everything that was learned along the way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He has learned that it is best to follow the light.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Start using your wings they need some exercise.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love one another, but let’s try not to possess one another.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You have two types of writers: one like Proust who was locked in his room and wrote the masterpiece. And the other type was Hemingway who celebrated life and also wrote a masterpiece.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Elegance is not an outer quality, but a part of the soul that is visible to others.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is an act of faith in another person, not an act of surrender.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the good fight.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory, who silently fulfil the role life has given them. I want to be able to do this because the most important things, those that shape our existence, are precisely the ones that never show their faces.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Dreaming carries no risks. The dangerous thing is trying to transform your dreams into reality.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But if you've ever felt love, you'll know how painful it is to suffer for love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change, but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I believe it is better to live a dream rather than to simply dream it. The dream is the start of something greater, something that impels us to make daring decisions. And it's true that the person who pursues a dream takes many risks. But the person who does not runs risks that are even greater.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Despising anything that was easy to achieve because if no sacrifice was involved, it obviously isn't worth having.
Paulo Coelho
Image
They were strange books. They spoke about mercury, salt, dragons, and kings, and he didn't understand any of it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you want to achieve your objectives, you have to be prepared for a daily dose of pain or discomfort. At first, it's unpleasant and demotivating, but in time you come to realise that it's part of the process of feeling good, and the moment arrives when, if you don't feel pain, you have a sense that the exercises aren't having the desired effect.
Paulo Coelho

No one could make a choice without feeling afraid.
Paulo Coelho
