Choose the mountain you want to climb: don't pay attention to what other people say, such as that one's more beautiful or this one's easier. You'll be spending lots of energy and enthusiasm to reach your objective, so you're the only one responsible and you should be sure of what you're doing.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
There is no such thing as a strange world, only a new world.
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
Don't listen to the malicious comments of those friends who, never taking any risks themselves, can only see other people's failures.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Choosing a path means having to miss out on others
Paulo Coelho

The desert is a capricious lady, and sometimes she drives men crazy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.
Paulo Coelho
