Paulo Coelho

I’m not a person that socializes very well.

Paulo Coelho

I’m proud of the scars in my soul. They remind me that I have an intense life.

Paulo Coelho

I’ve done everything I wanted to do, even if I have had to pay a very high price – which has been the case most of the time.

Paulo Coelho

I’ve noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down, but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.

Paulo Coelho

If one day I could get out of here, I would allow myself to be crazy. Everyone is indeed crazy, but the craziest are the ones who don’t know they’re crazy; they just keep repeating what others tell them to.

Paulo Coelho

If only we could be enlightened enough to be able to listen in the silence.

Paulo Coelho

If we are desperate, though, if we have nothing to lose, or if we are full of enthusiasm for life, then the unknown reveals itself, and our universe changes direction.

Paulo Coelho

If we seek something, that same thing is seeking us.

Paulo Coelho

If you pay close attention to each day, you will discover the magic moment.

Paulo Coelho

In a world where everyone struggles to survive whatever the cost, how could one judge those people who decide to die? No one can judge. Each person knows the extent of their own suffering or the total absence of meaning in their lives.
