Image
Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You have a personal legend to fulfil, period. It is of no matter if others support you, or criticise you, ignore or tolerate you. You are doing that because that is your destiny on this earth, and the source of any joy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You want to know if the heart of a man or a woman can contain enough love for more than one person? ... I think it's perfectly possible as long as one of those people doesn't turn into ... a Zahir.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every moment in life is an act of faith
Paulo Coelho
Image
We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren't, or of moments that could have been found but were forever hidden in the sands.
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
Image
In a world where everyone struggles to survive whatever the cost, how could one judge those people who decide to die? No one can judge. Each person knows the extent of their own suffering or the total absence of meaning in their lives.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Angels are visible to those who accept the light and break the pact made with darkness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I like to use the term alchemy, which is the soul of the world, or those of Jung's collective unconscious. You connect with a space where everything is.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am love, I am music, she thinks. Let’s dance.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We always have a tendency to see those things that do not exist and to be blind to the great lessons that are right there before our eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Today I am a woman torn between the terror that everything might change and the equal terror that everything might carry on exactly the same for the rest of my days.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Believing that your parents are always right.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Children are always looking at the world as if it was for the first time in their lives. So, we should always look to the world with the eyes of a child. I am not saying be naive, I am saying be innocent in the sense of discovering things.
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
Lord, bless our week. Help us to take all the necessary risks to become the person we always wanted to be.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can go back, but everyone can go forward.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Heaven and Earth are meeting in a storm that, when it's over, will leave the air purer and the leaves fertile, but before that happens, houses will be destroyed, centuries- old trees will topple, paradises will be flooded.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You are protected. But if you don't take risks, God will retreat and become only a subject of philosophical speculation.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I need to write about love. I need to think and think and write about love-otherwise, my soul won’t survive.
Paulo Coelho
