Quotes from Paulo Coelho

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

The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day.

The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.
