Quotes about life
life joy humans
Each human being has the right to seek out joy, joy being understood as something which makes one content - not necessarily that which makes others content. Paulo Coelho
life exercise guilt
Each human being has his own sexual profile, and should exercise it without guilt - provided he does not oblige others to exercise it with him. Paulo Coelho
life blessing two
Each human being has the right to two blessings, which are: the blessing to do right, and the blessing to err. In the latter case, there is always a path of learning leading to the right way. Paulo Coelho
life doe use
Each human being has been granted a virtue: the capacity to choose. For he who does not use this virtue, it becomes a curse - and others will always choose for him. Paulo Coelho
life wall sacred
We hereby declare the end to the wall dividing the sacred from the profane: from now on, all is sacred. Paulo Coelho
life giving people
Tell your story: yes, tell your story! Give your example. Tell everyone that it's possible, and other people will then have the courage to face their own mountains. Paulo Coelho
life dream tired
Be happy when you reach the top: cry, clap your hands, shout to the four winds that you did it, let the wind - the wind is always blowing up there - purify your mind, refresh your tired and sweaty feet, open your eyes, clean the dust from your heart. It feels so good, what was just a dream before, a distant vision, is now part of your life, you did it! Paulo Coelho
life journey sky
Respect your soul: don't keep repeating "I'm going to make it". Your soul already knows that, what it needs is to use the long journey to be able to grow, stretch along the horizon, touch the sky. An obsession does not help you at all to reach your objective, and even ends up taking the pleasure out of the climb. But pay attention: also, don't keep saying "it's harder than I thought", because that will make you lose your inner strength. Paulo Coelho
life giving-up spring
Respect your body: you can only climb a mountain if you give your body the attention it deserves. You have all the time that life grants you, as long as you walk without demanding what can't be granted. If you go too fast you will grow tired and give up half way there. If you go too slow, night will fall and you will be lost. Enjoy the scenery, take delight in the cool spring water and the fruit that nature generously offers you, but keep on walking. Paulo Coelho
life mind use
The landscape changes, so enjoy it: of course, you have to have an objective in mind - to reach the top. But as you are going up, more things can be seen, and it's no bother to stop now and again and enjoy the panorama around you. At every meter conquered, you can see a little further, so use this to discover things that you still had not noticed. Paulo Coelho
life dream rocks
When seen up close, dangers are controllable: when you begin to climb the mountain of your dreams, pay attention to the surroundings. There are cliffs, of course. There are almost imperceptible cracks in the mountain rock. There are stones so polished by storms that they have become as slippery as ice. But if you know where you are placing each footstep, you will notice the traps and how to get around them. Paulo Coelho
life dream responsibility
Learn from someone who has already been up there: no matter how unique you feel, there is always someone who has had the same dream before you and ended up leaving marks that can make your journey easier; places to hang the rope, trails, broken branches to make the walking easier. The climb is yours, so is the responsibility, but don't forget that the experience of others can help a lot. Paulo Coelho
life beautiful running
Know how to get close to it: mountains are often seen from far off - beautiful, interesting, full of challenges. But what happens when we try to draw closer? Roads run all around them, flowers grow between you and your objective, what seemed so clear on the map is tough in real life. So try all the paths and all the tracks until eventually one day you're standing in front of the top that you yearn to reach. Paulo Coelho
life joy movement
Walk firmly and with joy, without being afraid of stumbling. All your movements are being watched by your allies that will help you when necessary. Paulo Coelho
life journey thinking
The journey towards the top of the mountain is always longer than you think. Don't fool yourself: the moment will come where what seemed to be close to you is in fact still very far away. Paulo Coelho
life lying thinking
No one is alone during tribulations - there's always someone else thinking, rejoicing or suffering in the same way. This thought gives us strength to face the challenge that lies in front of us. Paulo Coelho
life people effort
People make a lot of effort not to remember, not to accept their immense magical potential. Paulo Coelho

Never abandon your dreams. Follow the signs. Paulo Coelho
life dream natural
It's natural to be afraid of replacing everything you already gained by a dream. Paulo Coelho
life men suffering
Since the dawn of time man understands that suffering, faced with no fear, is his passport to freedom. Paulo Coelho
life brave deception
When you find your way you cannot be scared. You need to be brave enough to take wrong steps. The deceptions, failures, lack of enthusiasm, are tools that God places in our way to reveal the path. Paulo Coelho
life people criticism
Face your path with courage, don't be scared of people's criticism. And, above all, don't let yourself get paralyzed by your own criticism. Paulo Coelho
life lying secret
It's in the present that lies the secret: if you pay attention to the present you will be able to enhance it. Paulo Coelho
life dream warrior
A warrior of light always commits himself. He is enslaved to his dream but he is free in his steps. Paulo Coelho

A man has to choose. This is where lies his strength: in the power of his decisions. If you choose to follow the path of your dreams, commit yourself to it. Accept your path. Paulo Coelho
life want obsession
You start living for the obsession alone ... You want to arrive somewhere regardless of whether you're enjoying the road or not. Paulo Coelho
life character successful
There's a lot of me in it. But the character is more egotistical. I'm also egotistical, but not the way the character is. This guy is successful, he has everything, but his wife has left him. The most important value - love - is missing. What is wrong with this institution called 'marriage'? What is wrong with this institution called 'the pursuit of happiness'? Paulo Coelho
