When she opened her eyes, Veronika did not think "this must be heaven." View quote
Paulo Coelho
Nothing in this world is useless in the eyes of God. Not a leaf from a tree falls, not a hair from your head, not even an insect dies because it was of no use. Everything has a reason to exist. View quote
Paulo Coelho
Arrogance complicates words, because it believes that intelligence is only for the chosen few. Elegance transforms complex thoughts into something that everyone can understand. View quote
Paulo Coelho
Arrogance causes us to humiliate our fellow man or woman. Elegance teaches us to walk in the light. View quote
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
When we are too generous in the sexual act and our main preoccupation is with our partner's pleasure, our own pleasure can be diminished or even destroyed. View quote
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
How can such opposing states exist in harmony together? There is only one way: by surrendering yourself. Because the act of surrender means: ‘I trust you.' View quote
Paulo Coelho
If two bodies merely join together, that is not sex, it is merely pleasure. Sex goes far beyond pleasure. In sex, relaxation and tension go hand in hand, as do pain and pleasure, shyness and the courage to go beyond one's limits. View quote
Paulo Coelho

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. View quote
Paulo Coelho
Because we realised that the person who left us did not take the sun with them or leave darkness in their place. They simply left, and with every farewell comes a hidden hope. View quote
Paulo Coelho
