More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
Simply having the courage to say senseless things made me euphoric. I was free, with no need to seek or to give explanations for what I was doing. This freedom lifted me to the heavens - where greater love, one that forgives everything and never allows you to feel abandoned, once again enveloped me.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Oddly enough I never used to suffer from depression on cold, gray, cloudy days like this. I feel as if nature is in harmony with me, that it reflected my soul.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Outer beauty is inner beauty made visible, and it manifests itself in the light that flows in our eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I fell asleep and dreamed that life was only Happiness. I woke and discovered that life was Duty. I did my Duty and discovered that life was Happiness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is only a word, until we decide to let it possess us with all its force. Love is only a word, until someone arrives to give it meaning. Don't give up. Remember, it's always the last key on the key ring that opens the door.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our task is not to leave a record of what happened on this date for those who will inherit the Earth history will take care of that.
Paulo Coelho
Image
So you see, Good and Evil have the same face it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's in the present that lies the secret: if you pay attention to the present you will be able to enhance it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.
Paulo Coelho
Image
How does light enter a house? If the windows are open. How does light enter a human? If the door of love is open.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Most experiences provoke a transformation in you. So, when you live something, live it fully because you never know when this is going to happen again and not only that, if it even happens again, it will not have the same impact.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But how to explain suffering because of a man? It's not explainable. With that kind of suffering, a person feels as if they're in hell, because there is no nobility, no greatness - only misery.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Not knowing whether to wait or to forget is the worst kind of suffering.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Warrior of the Light is a believer. Because he believes in miracles, miracles begin to happen. Because he is sure that his thoughts can change his life, his life begins to change. Because he is certain that he will find love, love appears.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's true life really is generous to those who pursue their destiny
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is a journey. How we travel is really up to us. We can just flow with the tide or follow our own dreams.
Paulo Coelho
