Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.
Paulo Coelho

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
Paulo Coelho

When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.
Paulo Coelho

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
Paulo Coelho

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
Paulo Coelho

The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people's opinions.
Paulo Coelho

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.
Paulo Coelho

You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
Paulo Coelho
