Paulo Coelho

"Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act."

"it’s that sense of powerlessness that destroyed my soul. i cannot be as good as i would like to be.nor as bad as i think i need to be.i think you have the same doubts that your goodness was not rewarded"

"What is a personal calling? It is God's blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on Earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend. However, we don't all have the courage to confront our own dream."

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

"Every search begins with beginner’s luck. And every search ends with the victor’s being severely tested."

"I am surprised how difficult for people is to say "I love you". They only say the three magic words when they are sure they will hear "I love you too"back. C'mon! Spread the energy of love without expecting anything! Cowards are incapable of expressing love; it is the prerogative of the brave"

"Life moves very fast. It rushes from Heaven to Hell in a matter of seconds."

"Tears are words that need to be written."

"Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear."

"Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is."

"Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused."

"Hide your craziness behind a beautiful smile. That's all you need."

"We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand."

"I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success."

"He has done things that caused me to doubt His wisdom, but never His existence."

"You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't a true love.. the love that speaks the language of the world."

"In the long run what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them than their own destinies."

"Who dares, win"

"Try to find pleasure in the speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you're the one who must decide how you handle it."

"Life moves very fast. It rushes from Heaven to Hell in a matter of seconds."
