I don't know if the books are making the world a much better place. I don't write with that objective. What I know is that I see my readers creating a critical mass so we can at least understand this world in a different way.

More quotes by Paulo Coelho
Usually the threat of death makes people a lot more aware of their lives.
Paulo Coelho
Follow your dreams, transform your life, take the path that leads to God. Perform your miracles. Cure. Make prophecies. Listen to your guardian angel. Transform yourself. Be a warrior, and be happy as you wage the good fight. Take risks.
Paulo Coelho
Anything that makes us forget who we are and what we want that way we can work in order to produce, reproduce, and earn money.
Paulo Coelho
We are our own greatest surprise.
Paulo Coelho
Because you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did.
Paulo Coelho
When you find your way you cannot be scared. You need to be brave enough to take wrong steps. The deceptions, failures, lack of enthusiasm, are tools that God places in our way to reveal the path.
Paulo Coelho
But if we are talking in terms of making progress in life, we must understand that good enough is very different from best.
Paulo Coelho
In order to dominate the soul you must also learn to dominate the body. And in order to dominate the body you cannot fear pain.
Paulo Coelho
What is a teacher? I'll tell you: it isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.
Paulo Coelho
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
It is not the life that matters, but the journey.
Paulo Coelho
Our body remains alive, yet sooner or later our soul will receive a mortal blow. The perfect crime--for we don't know who murdered our joy, what their motives were, or where the guilty parties are to be found.
Paulo Coelho
I will be capable of loving, regardless of whether I am loved in return, Of giving, when I have nothing, Of working happily, even in the midst of difficulties, Of holding out my hand, even when utterly alone and abandoned, Of drying my tears, even while I weep, Of believing, even when no one believes in me.
Paulo Coelho
Everything new troubles us. Life catches us unawares and obliges us to journey towards the unknown, even when we do not want to, even when we do not need to.
Paulo Coelho
There was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired.
Paulo Coelho
They went to university because someone, at a time when universities seemed important, said that in order to rise in the world, you had to have a degree. And thus the world was deprived of some excellent gardeners, bakers, antique dealers, sculptors, and writers.
Paulo Coelho
Open your heart and listen to what it is telling you. Follow your dreams, because only a man who is unashamed of himself can manifest the glory of God.
Paulo Coelho
If I must fall, may it be from a high place.
Paulo Coelho
How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly?
Paulo Coelho
Defeat exists but not suffering. A true warrior knows that when he loses a battle, he is improving the skill with which he wields a sword. He will be able to fight more skilfullly next time.
Paulo Coelho
