Image
When you must choose a new path, do not bring old experiences with you. Those who strike out afresh, but who attempt to retain a little of the old life, end up torn apart by their own memories.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And so I am this pilgrim - if I can somehow answer your question - who's constantly amazed by this journey. Who is learning a new thing every single day. But who's not accumulating knowledge, because then it becomes a very heavy burden in your back. I am this person who is proud to be a pilgrim, and who's trying to honor his journey.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When a sense of dissatisfaction persists, that means it was placed there by God for one reason only: you need to change everything and move forward.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Accumulating love brings luck, accumulating hatred brings calamity.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
Take these, said the old man, holding out a white stone and a black stone that had been embedded at the center of the breastplate. They are called Urim and Thummim. The black signifies 'yes,' and the white 'no.' When you are unable to read the omens, they will help you to do so. Always ask an objective question.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There is a huge difference between danger and fear.
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
Image
When we are high up, everything looks very small. Our glories and our sadnesses cease to be important. We have left whatever we won or lost down below. From the top of a mountain you can see how large the world is and how wide the horizon.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am love, I am music, she thinks. Let’s dance.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think the big danger of madness is not madness itself, but the habit of madness. What I discovered during the time I spent in the asylum is that I could choose madness and spend my whole life without working, doing nothing, pretending to be mad. It was a very strong temptation.
Paulo Coelho

Sometimes it's what you don't say that counts.
