We forget that the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.
Paulo CoelhoSeize every opportunity that life offers you because, when opportunities go, they take a long time to come back.
Paulo CoelhoThe best way to live a miserable life is to pay attention to what other people are saying about you.
Paulo CoelhoSo for the question I go to the mystery of it and say I don't know. I only know that I am alive and there is something that manifests in my life, that it is God and one day I am going to understand my life, probably in the day that I die, or afterwards. But I try to find good questions and not good answers.
Paulo CoelhoThe mere possibility of getting what we want fills the soul of the ordinary person with guilt. We look around at all those who have failed to get what they want and feel that we do not deserve to get what we want either. We forget about all the obstacles we overcame, all the suffering we endured, all the things we had to give up in order to get this far.
