Paulo Coelho

The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.

Paulo Coelho

The visible is always a mirror of the invisible. The reality is imagined before it manifests itself.

Paulo Coelho

The world is divided into those who understand me and those who don’t. In the case of the latter, I simply leave them to torment themselves trying to gain my sympathy.

Paulo Coelho

There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.

Paulo Coelho

There are neither winners nor losers, there are only stages that must be gone through. When the human heart understands this, it is free, able to accept difficult times and not be deceived by moments of glory.

Paulo Coelho

There are some things in life that are worth fighting for to the end.

Paulo Coelho

There comes a point in your life when you realize what really matters, what never did, and what always will.

Paulo Coelho

There is only one sin – lack of love. Be brave, be capable of loving, even if love seems a terrible and treacherous thing. Find joy in love. Find joy in victory. Follow the dictates of your heart.

Paulo Coelho

To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation.

Paulo Coelho

Tragedy always brings about radical change in our lives, a change that is associated with the same principle: loss. When faced by any loss, there’s no point in trying to recover what has been; it’s best to take advantage of the large space that opens up before us and fill it with something new.
