Quote

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.

All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't care whether it was once sacred or not, I HATE WHAT I DO. It's destroying my soul, making me lose touch with myself, teaching me that pain is a reward, that money buys everything and justifies everything.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.
Paulo Coelho
Image
On some nights, he has nowhere to sleep, on others he suffers from insomnia. That's just how it is, thinks the warrior. I was the one who chose to walk this path.

From that day on, it was the desert that would be important. She would look to it everyday, and would try to guess which star the boy was following in search of his treasure. She would have to send her kisses on the wind hoping that the wind would touch the boy's face, and would tell him that she was alive.
Paulo Coelho

now that she realized she had been waiting for him—she did not like that.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Hell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: “I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.
Paulo Coelho

Remember the saying, What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger? It's true!
Paulo Coelho
Image
Death does not allow us to postpone all the things we can experience now.
Paulo Coelho
Image
To live is to experience things, not sit around pondering the meaning of life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Judging yourself to be full of virtue paralyses. Judging yourself to be full of guilt also paralyses.
Paulo Coelho

She [the Virgin Mary] was normal. She had already had other children. The Bible tells us that Jesus had two brothers. Virginity, as it relates to Jesus, is based on a different thing: Mary initiated a new generation of grace. A new era began. She is the cosmic bride, Earth, which opens to the heavens and allows itself to be fertilized.

I understand once again that the greatness of God always reveals itself in the simple things.
