“Why is patience so important?"
"Because it makes us pay attention.”
― Paulo Coelho

“When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World.... when you love someone with all your heart, that's when you are transformed."
"Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive... and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.... we continue to change as change is the nature of man. No one is "just this way". That is who they are today - it will not be who they are tomorrow.”
― Paulo Coelho

“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”
― Paulo Coelho

“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

“فمن بين جميع أسلحة الدمار التي يستطيع الإنسان ابتكارها، تعتبر "الكلمة" هي الأكثر إثارة للرعب والأقوى.
فالخناجر والرماح تترك آثارا من الدم ، والسهام يمكن رؤيتها عن بعد ، السموم تكشف في النهاية ويتم تجنبها.
أما "الكلمة" فتستطيع التدمير دون أن تترك أية أدلة.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Fifth Mountain

“The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better."
-- The Alchemist”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“I don't regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears”
― Paulo Coelho
