Your money saved us for three days. It's not often that money saves a person's life.
Paulo Coelho -
At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny.

The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.
Paulo Coelho -
I don't go to parties in general.
Paulo Coelho -
There is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.
Paulo Coelho -
Once I found this possibility to use Twitter and Facebook and my blog to connect to my readers, I'm going to use it, to connect to them and to share thoughts that I cannot use in the book.
Paulo Coelho -
Don’t let yourself be destroyed by a force that was placed in our hearts in order to make everything better.
Paulo Coelho -
You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.
Paulo Coelho
-

I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.
Paulo Coelho -
Hell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: 'I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.'
Paulo Coelho -
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
Paulo Coelho
-
The desert takes our dreams away from us, and they don't always return. We know that, and we are used to it. Those who don't return become a part of the clouds, a part of the animals that hide in the ravines and of the water that comes from the earth. They become part of everything... They become the Soul of the World.
Paulo Coelho -
Wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure.

The good old days, when each idea had an owner, are gone forever.
Paulo Coelho -
I am not happy, and the quest for happiness as a principal objective is not part of my world. Of course, ever since I can remember, I have done what I felt like doing.
Paulo Coelho -
My literature is much more the result of a paradox than that of an implacable logic, typical of police novels. The paradox is the tension that exists in my soul.
Paulo Coelho -
With all due respect, the Mona Lisa is overrated.
Paulo Coelho
-
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 -
I always was a rich person because money's not related to happiness.
Paulo Coelho -
If someone is giving us something, that’s because we’re incapable of getting it for ourselves.
Paulo Coelho -
The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence.
