Famous Paulo Coelho Quotes

“—Estás loco. —Puede ser. Pero tiene sentido. ¿Te has parado a pensar qué sentían los hombres con los que has estado en la cama? —Sí, lo he hecho: todos se sentían inseguros. Tenían miedo. —Peor que miedo. Eran vulnerables. No entendían muy bien qué estaban haciendo, simplemente sabían que la sociedad, los amigos, las propias mujeres decían que era importante. «Sexo, sexo, sexo», ésa es la base de la vida, grita la publicidad, la gente, las películas, los libros. Nadie sabe de qué habla. Saben, ya que el instinto es más fuerte que todos nosotros, que hay que hacerlo. Y punto.”

“Everything is at once so simple and so complicated! It's simple because all it takes is a change of attitude: I'm not going to look for happiness anymore. From now on, I'm independent; I see life through my eyes and not through other peo-ple's. I'm going in search of the adventure of being alive. And it's complicated: Why am I not looking for happiness when everyone has taught me that happiness is the only goal worth pursuing? Why am I going to risk taking a path that no one else is taking? After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety,”

“Money brings happiness. Fine. In that case, everyone who earns enough to have a high standard of living would be able to stop working. But then they're more troubled than ever, as if they were afraid of losing everything. Money attracts money, that's true. Poverty might bring unhappiness, but money won't necessarily bring happiness.”

“Porque no vivo ni en mi pasado ni en mi futuro. Tengo sólo el presente, y él es el que me interesa. Si puedes permanecer siempre en el presente, serás un hombre feliz. Percibirás que en el desierto existe vida, que el cielo tiene estrellas, y que los guerreros luchan porque esto forma parte de la raza humana. La vida será una fiesta, un gran festival, porque ella es siempre sólo el momento que estamos viviendo.”

“¿Por qué el Amor es más importante que la fe? Porque la Fe no es más que un camino que nos conduce al Amor más grande. ¿ Por qué el Amor es más importante que la Caridad? Porque la Caridad no es más que una de las manifestaciones del Amor.Y el todo es siempre más importante que la parte.Además la Caridad no es más que uno de los muchos caminos que el Amor utiliza para que el hombre se una a su prójimo. Y todos sabemos que hay por ahí mucha caridad sin Amor.”

“It was the pure Language of the World.It required no explanation,just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time.What the boy felt at the moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life,and that,with no need for words,she recognized the same thing.he was more certain of it than of anything in the world.He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before being committed.But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language,it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you,whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city.And when two such people encounter each other,and their eyes meet,the past and the future become unimportant.There is only that moment,and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only.It is the hand that evokes love,and creates a twin soul for every person in the world.Without such love,one's dreams would have no meaning. Maktub,thought the boy.”

“Compra tu rebaño y recorre el mundo hasta aprender que nuestro castillo es el más importante y que nuestras mujeres son las más bellas. Y lo bendijo. En los ojos del padre él leyó también el deseo de recorrer el mundo. Un deseo que aún persistía, a pesar de las decenas de años que había intentado sepultarlo con agua, comida y el mismo lugar para dormir todas las noches.”

“It is a shame that what happens today already happened yesterday, and will happen again tomorrow; it will continue to happen until the end of time, or until man finds out he is not only what he thinks, but mostly what he feels. The body tires easily, but the spirit is always free and will help us get out, one day, from this infernal cycle of repeating the same mistakes every generation. Although thoughts always remain the same, there is something stronger, and this is called Love.”
