Quotes from Paulo Coelho

Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.

Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

Love your wife or husband and show your love by your constant kindness and caresses

Those have most power to hurt us, that we love

Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long.

Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.

I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first time we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings...

Stop being who you were and become who you are.

Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World. It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that's where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.

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.

We are not the person other people wish we were. We are who we decide to be.

Love is the only thing that will save us, independent of any mistakes we may make. Love is always stronger.

What we aim to do is calm the spirit and get in touch with the source from which everything comes, removing any trace of malice or egotism. If you spend too much time trying to find out what is good or bad about someone else, youll forget your own soul and end up exhausted and defeated by the energy you have wasted in judging others.

I cant tell someone that their dreams are impossible.

Routine has nothing to do with repetition. To become really good at anything, you have to practice and repeat, practice and repeat, until the technique becomes intuitive.

There is only one way to learn It's through action.

We wouldn't worry nearly as much about what others thought of us if we recognize how seldom they do.

We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, G-d gives us the sun-and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that.

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.

Our time on this earth is sacred, and we should celebrate every moment.

A warrior of the light...never confuses tension with anxiety.

They were seeking out the treasure of their destiny, without actually wanting to live out their destiny.

The way up to the top of the mountain is always longer than you think. Dont fool yourself, the moment will arrive when what seemed so near is still very far.
