Paulo Coelho

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.

Paulo Coelho

Telling the truth and making someone cry is better than telling a lie to make someone laugh.

Paulo Coelho

Temptation said that we all dream of committing crimes, but that only the unbalanced make that macabre idea a reality.

Paulo Coelho

That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there.

Paulo Coelho

That is the most common excuse, and the most foolish of all. Love has never prevented a man from following his dreams. If she truly loves you, she will want the best for you.

Paulo Coelho

The adrenaline and stress of an adventure are better than a thousand peaceful days.

Paulo Coelho

The beauty of truth: whether it is bad or good, it is liberating.

Paulo Coelho

The boy was beginning to understand that intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it’s all written there.

Paulo Coelho

The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

Paulo Coelho

The cup of suffering is overflowing everywhere. So please don’t transform your unhappiness into aggressiveness.

Paulo Coelho
