They don’t understand that no one is having fun, that everyone is worried and insecure, and that what the jewels, cars, and fat wallets conceal is a huge inferiority complex.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
Most human beings still cannot trust love.
Paulo Coelho

Feelings do not grow old along with the body. Feelings form part of a world I don’t know, but it’s a world where there’s no time, so space, no frontiers.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A man only has a soul to be won or lost.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He also knows the importance of intuition.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive . and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.
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

Making fun of anyone who seeks happiness rather than money and accusing them of lacking ambition.
