Image
Love cannot exist in peace, it will always come accompanied by agonies, ecstasies, intense joys and profound sadnesses.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every moment of searching is a moment of encounter.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I need to write about love. I need to think and think and write about love-otherwise, my soul won’t survive.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
There's no point sitting here, using words that mean nothing. Go and experiment. It's time you got out of here. Go and re-conquer your kingdom, which has grown corrupted by routine. Stop repeating the same lesson, because you won't learn anything new that way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Warrior of the Light knows that everyone is afraid of everyone else.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Superclass tries to promote its values. Ordinary people complain of divine injustice, they envy power, and it pains them to see others having fun. They don’t understand that no one is having fun, that everyone is worried and insecure, and that what the jewels, cars, and fat wallets conceal is a huge inferiority complex.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm not a person that socializes very well.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Retiring and discovering that you no longer have enough energy to enjoy life and dying a few years out of sheer boredom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything on Earth is being continuously transformed.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Only three things can change our lives dreams, suffering and love

Walking helps me a lot to feel alive, and I do this every single day, my wife and I. We have long conversations about nature, and we also walk silently, just contemplating.
