It takes a huge effort to free yourself from memory.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Faith is not Desire. Faith is Will. Desires are things that need to be satisfied, whereas Will is a force. Will changes the space around us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He needs both patience and speed.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A warrior takes every opportunity to teach himself.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't let yourself be weighed down by what other people think, because in a few years, in a few decades, or in a few centuries, that way of thinking will have changed. Live now what others will only live in the future.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I simply believe that a book has a journey to make, and should not be condemned to being stuck on a shelf… Let’s leave our books free to travel, then, to be touched by other hands, and enjoyed by other eyes.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I walk every day, and I look at the mountains and the fields and the small city, and I say: 'Oh my God, what a blessing.' Then you realise it's important to put it in a context beyond this woman, this man, this city, this country, this universe.
Paulo Coelho

Never laughing too loudly in a restaurant no matter how good the joke.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And so I am this pilgrim - if I can somehow answer your question - who's constantly amazed by this journey. Who is learning a new thing every single day. But who's not accumulating knowledge, because then it becomes a very heavy burden in your back. I am this person who is proud to be a pilgrim, and who's trying to honor his journey.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Maybe God created the desert so that man could appreciate the date trees
Paulo Coelho
Image
She said she was neither happy nor unhappy, and that was why she couldn't go on. Each person knows the extent of their own suffering, or the total absence of meaning in their lives.
Paulo Coelho
Image
First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I must have no fear of failure. It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the Master Work.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Words are tears that have been written down. Tears are words that need to be shed. Without them, joy loses all its brilliance and sadness has no end.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The great victory, which appears so simple today, was the result of a series of small victories that went unnoticed
Paulo Coelho
Image
We all have other halves, and when they're feeling bad, we get a little piece of the pain
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
