Quotes About Freedom

~ Paulo Coelho
Everything we seek so enthusiastically before we reach adulthood— love, work, faith— turns into a burden too heavy to bear. There is only one way to escape this: love. To love is to transform slavery into freedom. But right now, I can't love. I just feel hate.

I feel like making the mistakes I always wanted to make, but never had the courage to...I can make new friends and teach them how to be crazy too in order to be wise. I'll tell them not to follow the manuals of good behaviour but to discover their own lives, desires, adventures and to live
~ Paulo Coelho
Pity those who seek for shepherds, instead of longing for freedom!

But we must never forget that spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love. And with love, there is no rules. (….) The heart decides, and what it decides is all that really matters.
~ Paulo Coelho
Ali ne smemo nikad smetnuti s uma da je duhovno iskustvo Ljubavi. A u Ljubavi ne postoje pravila. Mozemo pokusavati da se pridrzavamo prirucnika, da vladamo svojim srcem, da izgradimo strategiju ponasanja-ali sve su to kojestarije. Srce odlucuje, i to sto ono odluci, jedino i vazi.
~ Paulo Coelho
die wahre Erfahrung von Freiheit: das Wichtigste auf der Welt zu haben, ohne es zu besitzen.

Traveling is not always a question of money, but of courage. You spent a great part of your life going around the world like a hippie: what money did you have then? None. You could hardly afford the tickets, and nevertheless I believe they were some of the best years of your life - eating badly, sleeping at railway stations, unable to communicate because of the language, being forced to depend on others just in order to find some shelter to spend the night.
~ Paulo Coelho
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 be changed. Live now what others will only live in the future.
~ Paulo Coelho
And within that cycle there are neither winners nor losers; there are only stages that must be gone through. When the human heart understands this, it is free and able to accept difficult times without being deceived by moments of glory.
~ Paulo Coelho

Sólo el amor nos permite escapar y transformar la esclavitud en libertad
~ Paulo Coelho

~ Paulo Coelho
Åži în iubire nu exist? reguli. Putem încerca s? ne Å£inem de manuale, s? ne control?m inima, s? avem o strategie de comportament - dar toate acestea sunt fleacuri. Inima este cea care hot?r??te ÅŸi doar ce hot?r??te ea este important.
~ Paulo Coelho
The true lover is the one who realizes that loyalty must go hand in hand with freedom.
~ Paulo Coelho
Voli se zato sto se voli. Ne postoji razlog zbog kojeg se voli.
~ Paulo Coelho
I want to feel the rain on my face, to smile at any man I feel attracted to, to accept all the coffees men might buy for me. I want to kiss my mother, tell her I love her, weep in her lap, unashamed of showing my feelings, because they were always there even though I hid them.
~ Paulo Coelho
