Life moves very fast. It rushes us from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If someone is capable of loving his partner without restrictions, unconditionally, then he is manifesting the love of God. If the love of God becomes manifest, he will love his neighbor. If he loves his neighbor, he will love himself. If he loves himself, then everything returns to its proper place.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And, when you can't go back, you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward.
Paulo Coelho
Image
My turning point was my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. It was then that I, who had dedicated most of my life to penetrate the 'secrets' of the universe, realized that there are no secrets. Life is and will always be a mystery.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
The true lover realizes that freedom is needed for loyalty to blossom.
