By the River Piedra I sat dow...

By the River Piedra I sat down and wept. There is a legend that everything that falls into the waters of this river -- leaves, insects, the feathers of birds -- is transformed into the rocks that make the riverbed. If only I could tear out my heart and hurl it into the current, then my pain and longing would be over, and I could finally forget.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

Physical elegance comes from ...

Physical elegance 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 2110 quotes

I believe it is better to liv...

I believe it is better to live a dream rather than to simply dream it. The dream is the start of something greater, something that impels us to make daring decisions. And it's true that the person who pursues a dream takes many risks. But the person who does not runs risks that are even greater.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

Eating three times a day even if you're not hungry.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

Respect your body: you can on...

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.

Be realistic: Go for the impossible!

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

Some people appear to be happ...

Some people appear to be happy, but they simply don't give the matter much thought. Others make plans: I'm going to have a husband, a home, two children, a house in the country. As long as they're busy doing that, they're like bulls looking for the bullfighter: they react instinctively, they blunder on, with no idea where the target is. They get their car, sometimes they even get a Ferrari, and they think that's the meaning of life, and they never question it. Yet their eyes betray the sadness that even they don't know they carry in their soul. Are you happy?

I think classical ballet dancers dance on pointe because they're simultaneously touching the earth and reaching up to the skies

When you close that door to nowhere throw away the key, we have a tendency to look back and regret

The taste of things recovered is the sweetest honey we will ever know.

In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the pricesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

I will be able to love above ...

I will be able to love above all discontentment. To give even when I am stripped of everything. To dry tears even when I am still crying. To believe even when I am discredited.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

I realised that you don't have to jump through a series of complicated hoops to achieve a goal.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

Even if loving meant leaving,...

Even if loving meant leaving, or solitude, or sorrow, love was worth every penny of its price.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

Why don’t people’s hearts tel...

Why don’t people’s hearts tell them to continue following their dreams?” the boy asked the alchemist. “Because that’s what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don’t like to suffer." From then on, the boy understood his heart. He asked it, please, never to stop speaking to him. He asked that, when he wandered far from his dreams, his heart press him and sound the alarm. The boy swore that, every time he heard the alarm, he would heed its message.

One way or another, I have wound up destroying what I've loved. I've seen my dreams fall apart just when I seemed to achieve them. I always thought tat was just the way life was. My life anf everybody else's.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

Love doesn't need to be discussed; it has its own voice and speaks for itself.

Paulo Coelho 2110 quotes

The parents always insisted on telling their child that their secret friends didn't exist - perhaps because they had forgotten that they too had spoken to their angel at one time. Or, who knows, perhaps they thought they lived in a world where there was no longer any place for angels.

Don't ask permission. If it does not work, you can apologize later.

But now I knew that true love was above all that and that it would be better to die than to fail to love.
