Paulo Coelho

Be careful! Never show your superiors that you are superior to them.

Paulo Coelho

Blessed are us who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of our own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do.

Paulo Coelho

Bodies always understand each other, even when the souls do not.

Paulo Coelho

But 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

By sharing something, I realized that I’m not alone, that there are a lot of people that share with me the same preoccupations, the same ideas, the same ideals, and the same quest for a meaning for this life.

Paulo Coelho

Certain things are so important that they need to be discovered alone.

Paulo Coelho

Certain things in life simply have to be experienced – and never explained. Love is such a thing.

Paulo Coelho

Children are always looking at the world as if it was for the first time in their lives. So, we should always look to the world with the eyes of a child. I am not saying be naive, I am saying be innocent in the sense of discovering things.

Paulo Coelho

Defeat is for the valiant. Only they will know the honour of losing and the joy of winning.

Paulo Coelho

Déjà vu is more than just that fleeting moment of surprise, instantly forgotten because we never bother with things that make no sense. It show that time doesn’t pass. It’s a leap into something we have already experienced and that is being repeated.
