Each human being was given two possibilities: action and contemplation. Both lead to the same place.
Paulo Coelho

No one places her dreams in the hands of those who might destroy them.
Paulo Coelho

For a writer you have to be interested in different cultures, different backgrounds. You are not there to write only about your village. You're there to show a bit of your village, but also to understand other villages.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never give up. When your heart becomes tired, just walk with your legs - but move on.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The alchemists spent years in their laboratories, observing the fire that purified the metals. They spent so much time close to the fire that gradually they gave up the vanities of the world. They discovered that the purification of the metals had led to a purification of themselves.

Hurry up: your dreams are waiting for you, but they will not wait forever

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

I am my own best friend and my own worst enemy. Before coming here, I was thinking I don't deserve it, that i wouldn't be able to meet your expectations, and that you had probably chosen the wrong candidate. At the same time, my heart was telling me that i was being rewarded because i hadn't given up and had fought to the end

The darkest hour was just before dawn.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Omens are a language, it's the alphabet we develop to speak to the world's soul, or the universe's, or God's, whatever name you want to give it. Like an alphabet, it is individual, you only learn it by making mistakes, and that keeps you from globalizing the spiritual quest.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's better to live cherishing a dream than face the possibilty that it might all come to nothing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Men take the oddest satisfaction in feeling superior without knowing that most of the time they are being utterly predictable.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When I had nothing more to lose, I was given everything. When I ceased to be who I am, I found myself. When I experienced humiliation and yet kept on walking, I understood that I was free to choose my destiny.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never hate jealous people. They are jealous because they think you are better than them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Follow your dreams and take your risks.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Twitter is my bar. I sit at the counter and listen to the conversations, starting others, feeling the atmosphere.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I love you', though, were three words she had often heard during her twenty-two years, and it seemed to her that they were now completely devoid of meaning, because they had never turned into anything serious or deep, never translated into a lasting relationship.

When we are living our dream, the difficulties we encounter make sense.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible. We grow up with this idea, and as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of prejudice, fear and guilt. There comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But know that it's still there.

Sometimes it is impossible to stop the river of life.
