“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.”
-Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness. -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “You are what you believe yourself to be.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “I've been in love before, it's like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things.You think about the person you love for two minutes then forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there, you feel like an addict who can't get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love."- By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realize that nothing really belongs to them.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or--such is the pleasure they experience--they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Ester asked why people are sad. "That’s simple," says the old man. "They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Your eyes show the strength of your soul.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “What is a teacher? I'll tell you: it isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “What's the world's greatest lie?... It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. It hurt when I lost each of the various men I fell in love with. Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Anyone who is observant, who discovers the person they have always dreamed of, knows that sexual energy comes into play before sex even takes place. The greatest pleasure isn't sex, but the passion with which it is practiced. When the passion is intense, then sex joins in to complete the dance, but it is never the principal aim.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- |
“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. 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 Quotes on life- “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 Quotes on life- “Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path. -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded. -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything. -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive? -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Don't give in to your fears.

That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- “Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.” -Paulo Coelho Quotes on life- |
