Paulo Coelho

Do not try to explain feelings. Live everything intensely and treasure what you feel as a gift from God.

Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth.

So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.

In order to have faith in his own path, he does not need to prove that someone else's path is wrong.

If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.

The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

What's the world's greatest lie?... It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.

I want to continue being crazy; living my life the way I dream it, and not the way the other people want it to be.

Don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do.

Nothing in this world happens by chance.

If I must fall, may it be from a high place.

The book is a film that takes place in the mind of the reader. That's why we go to movies and say, "Oh, the book is better."

Sometimes the best of gods gift's arrive by the shattering of all the window panes.

When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.

But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.

Tears are words that need to be written.

I don't regret the painful times; I bare my scars as if they were medals.
