Paulo Coelho Is Quotations

There is only one sin - lack of love. Be brave, be capable of loving, even if love seems a terrible and treacherous thing. Find joy in love. Find joy in victory. Follow the dictates of your heart.

My turning point was my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. It was then that I, who had dedicated most of my life to penetrate the 'secrets' of the universe, realized that there are no secrets. Life is and will always be a mystery.

Our great goal in life is to love. The rest is silence.

Love is always the same but people change.

True love is an act of total surrender.

The great wisdom of life is that we can be masters of the things that try to enslave us.

Love is an act of faith, not an exchange

How does light enter a house? If the windows are open. How does light enter a human? If the door of love is open.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. I've fallen in love many times... always with you. What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you. Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.

The energy that many people call love, is, in fact, the raw material from which the universe was built.

A good, true, intense love is not complete without madness.

Have courage, be capable of loving.... Be happy in love. Be joyful in victory. Follow the dictates of your heart.

To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the spark of God.

Love is the force that brings us back together, in order to condense the experience dispersed in many lives and many parts of the world.

Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called 'the madness of saintliness'. They have been joyful - because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.

At some point, we have each said through our tears, “I’m suffering for a love that’s not worth it.” We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules. But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth.

We live in a vale of tears...We can have all the dreams we like, but life is hard, implacable, sad.

Life is the train and not the station.

Love is only a word, until we decide to let it possess us with all its force. Love is only a word, until someone arrives to give it meaning. Don't give up. Remember, it's always the last key on the key ring that opens the door.

I am living here and now. The blessing of my life is that I am totally concentrating on the present moment. And I want to be because there is nothing but the present moment.

Love is the glue that keeps the stars in place.

Love is looking at the same mountains from different angles.

Love is beyond time or rather love is both time and space but all focused on one single constantly evolving point-the Aleph.

Love is a complicated path, and that path can lead us up to heaven or hurl us down into hell.

He who loves has conquered the world and has no fear of losing anything. True love is an act of total surrender.

If you accept such love with purity and humility, you will understand that Love is neither giving nor receiving -it is participating.

Life is like cooking: before choosing what you love, try everything... ♥

Long distance relationships are living proof that love is not just physical. I can feel you next to me even when you're thousands of miles away. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.

Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World.

Life is too short to be wasted in finding answers. Enjoy the questions.

Love is joy. Don't convince yourself that suffering is a part of it.

A great pleasure in life is to do what they say you can't.

Life is a long pilgrimage from fear to love.

Don't expect your genius to be discovered; do what you must do because it gives you joy. Don't expect your love to be accepted. Love because it justifies your life.

Love is what dreams are made of!

May love be your guide in every moment of your life.

To love is to lose control.

Certain things in life simply have to be experienced -and never explained. Love is such a thing.

Love is, after all, a curse of suffering.

Life is too short for us to keep important words, for example, 'I love you', locked in our hearts.

Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not.

Love is the only thing that counts. Love is what keeps the star and the human beings and the world turning around. Love is the force that binds the whole universe together.

Life is like a garden, you reap what you sow

The srongest love is the love which is not afraid to show the weakness

Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured.

No life is complete without a touch of madness.

We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.

If we are alone, we become more alone. Life is strange

That is the Mongolian creation myth: out of two different natures love is born. In contradiction, love grows in strength. In confrontation and transformation, love is preserved.

True love, is the love that seduces and will never allow itself to be seduced.

Love is an act of faith, not an exchange. Contradictions are what make love grow. Conflicts are what allow love to remain by our side.

Love simply is. That is the testament of Athena or Sherine or Hagia Sofia - love is. No definitions. Love and don't ask too many questions. Just love.

Love is only a small thing, enough for one person, and any suggestion that the heart might be larger than this is considered perverse.

Every moment in life is an act of faith

Do not ask yourself if your love is big enough, because love is neither big nor small, it is simply love.

Life is not about good answers, it is about interesting questions.

Love is an act of faith in another person, not an act of surrender.
