It's better to live cherishing a dream than face the possibilty that it might all come to nothing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There is an afterlife. I am convinced of this.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the master work. Now, I'm beginning what I could have started ten years ago. But I'm happy at least that I didn't wait twenty years.
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

What is a teacher? I'll tell you: it isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.
Paulo Coelho
Image
As she had been walking from the ward to that room, she had felt such pure hatred that now she had no more rancor left in her heart. She had finally allowed her negative feelings to surface, feelings that had been repressed for years in her soul. She had actually FELT them, and they were no longer necessary, they could leave.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every moment of searching is a moment of encounter.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must not confuse humility with false modesty or servility.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Accumulating love brings luck, accumulating hatred brings calamity.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.
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
Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested. The boy remembered an old proverb from his country. It said that the darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you are never alone, you cannot know yourself.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't know if the books are making the world a much better place. I don't write with that objective. What I know is that I see my readers creating a critical mass so we can at least understand this world in a different way.
Paulo Coelho

When you know how to use it, disobedience can be a virtue.

A life without a cause is a life without effect.
