Quotes by Paulo Coelho

People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it.
