Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.
Paulo CoelhoAbsolute freedom does not exist; what does exist is the freedom to choose anything you like and then commit yourself to that decision.
Paulo CoelhoWe always have a tendency to see those things that do not exist and to be blind to the great lessons that are right there before our eyes.
Paulo CoelhoYou were my hope during my days of loneliness, my anxiety during moments of doubt, my certainty during moments of faith.
Paulo CoelhoThe desert takes our dreams away from us, and they don't always return. We know that, and we are used to it. Those who don't return become a part of the clouds, a part of the animals that hide in the ravines and of the water that comes from the earth. They become part of everything. They become the Soul of the World.
