Image
Be creative. Men only learnt how to fly when they stopped imitating birds.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes Evil pursues the Warrior of the Light, and when it does, he calmly invites it into his tent.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am in the Aleph, the point at which everything is in the same place at the same time. I'm at a window, looking out at the world and its secret places, poetry lost in time and words left hanging in space...sentences that are perfectly understood, even when left unspoken. Feelings that simultaneously exalt and suffocate.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Borges said there are only four stories to tell: a love story between two people, a love story between three people, the struggle for power and the voyage. All of us writers rewrite these same stories ad infinitum.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everyone has their own way of learning.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We can also allow our Soulmate to pass us by,without accepting him or her,or even noticing. Then we will need another incarnation in order to find that Soulmate. And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never abandon your dreams. Follow the signs.
Paulo Coelho
Image
As long as you still have one bridge left, nothing is lost. But from the moment that you cannot even understand the storytelling or the music of other cultures anymore, then we become strangers to each other and the situation will become very complicated.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There is only one way to learn... It's through action.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Getting married, having children, and staying together long after all love has died, saying that it's for the good of the children (who are, apparently, deaf to the constant rows).
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our body remains alive, yet sooner or later our soul will receive a mortal blow. The perfect crime--for we don't know who murdered our joy, what their motives were, or where the guilty parties are to be found.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Try to find pleasure in the speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you're the one who must decide how you handle it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high.
Paulo Coelho
Image
How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Then the Warrior of the Light thanks his traveling companions, takes a deep breath and continues on, laden with memories of an unforgettable journey.
Paulo Coelho
Image
To love is to lose control.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Paulo Coelho
