Don't expect your genius to be discovered do what you must do because it gives you joy. Don't expect your love to be accepted. Love because it justifies your life.

Lie down on the ground and feel the planet's heart beating.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
Forgive your enemy, but do not mistake him for a friend.
Paulo Coelho

How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly?
Paulo Coelho
Image
You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you find your way you cannot be scared. You need to be brave enough to take wrong steps. The deceptions, failures, lack of enthusiasm, are tools that God places in our way to reveal the path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Believing that other people are always better than you-better-looking, more capable, richer, more intelligent-and that it's very dangerous to step outside your own limits, so it's best to do nothing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The search for happiness is more important than the need for pain.
Paulo Coelho
