Sometimes I need to be a stranger to myself. Only then my soul can show me not what I want, but what I need to see.

More quotes by 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
They are words that are easy enough to say and which fill vast empty spaces.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Moving slowly enables us to learn faster.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When two people fall in love, past and future disappear.
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
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
Knowledge was always the power that kept the Universe in its place and the stars turning in their orbits.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes it's what you don't say that counts.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone
Paulo Coelho
Image
Veronika had noticed that a lot of people she knew would talk about the horros in other people's lives as if they were genuinely concerned to help them, but the truth was that they took pleasure in the suffering of others, because that made them believe they were happy and that life had been generous with them
Paulo Coelho
Image
Anything that makes us forget who we are and what we want that way we can work in order to produce, reproduce, and earn money.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we're interested in something, everything around us appears to refer to it (the mystics call these phenomena signs, the sceptics coincidence, and psychologists concentrated focus, although I've yet to find out what term historians should use).
Paulo Coelho
Image
Each human being has his or her own sexual identity and should be able to exercise that identity without guilt as long as they do not force that sexual identity on others.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He sometimes behaves like water, flowing around the obstacles he encounters.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Most of my young years were spent under the boots of the military.
Paulo Coelho
Image
God has prepared a path for everyone to follow.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Oddly enough I never used to suffer from depression on cold, gray, cloudy days like this. I feel as if nature is in harmony with me, that it reflected my soul.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I write from my soul. This is the reason that critics don't hurt me, because it is me.
Paulo Coelho
