Paulo Coelho Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Paulo Coelho:

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.

Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows.

Paulo Coelho

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

Paulo Coelho

Elegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, lack of depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture because this word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony.

Paulo Coelho

Everything is possible, from angels to demons to economists and politicians.

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

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

Paulo Coelho

This may sound a little bit idealistic, but when I go to my blog, my Facebook page, my Twitter account, I talk to different people from all over the world, and you see how it's easy to establish a dialogue.

Paulo Coelho

Beauty is the greatest seducer of man.

Paulo Coelho

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It's very simple.

Physical elegance, which is what I am talking about here, comes from the body. This is no superficial matter, but rather the way that man found to honour the way he places his two feet on the ground.

Paulo Coelho

I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.

Paulo Coelho

We have to stop and be humble enough to understand that there is something called mystery.

Paulo Coelho

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.

Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.

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

Paulo Coelho

No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes.

I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death. They thought nobody can make a living from being a writer in Brazil. They were not wrong.

The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence.

Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

Paulo Coelho

When I write a book, I write a book for myself; the reaction is up to the reader. It's not my business whether people like or dislike it.

Paulo Coelho

You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.

Paulo Coelho

Writing is a solitary experience. I'm extremely superstitious. If I talk about the book or name the title out loud before finishing, I feel the energy I need to write will be drained. It's so intimate, I can't even share it with my wife.

Paulo Coelho

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

Paulo Coelho

Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first they have to understand that their neighbour is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems, the same questions.

Paulo Coelho

It took me 40 years to write my first book. When I was a child, I was encouraged to go to school. I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death.

Paulo Coelho

I wanted to write when I was young, but people said it was impossible. Then my parents locked me in a mental institution - they said I was crazy and would never make a living from writing.
