Quote by Paulo Coelho

@Dainbramadge Oh really? :) I read it years ago...have you? It is quite simple in a way but really beautiful ❤️

@Carmen74 Yeah I read it online. LOL.
A Portuguese buddy of mine turned me on to him a ways back.
His real life story is wild.

@Dainbramadge My favorite line in the book ...
“Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.”

― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

@Dainbramadge I have loved his writing for many years but don't know his real life story! Will have to look it up :)

@Dainbramadge That is really good, yes.

My favourite quote of his is:

By Paulo Coelho

Every day, God gives us, as well as the sun,
a moment when it is possible to change anything
that is causing us unhappiness.

The magic moment is the moment when
a “yes” or a “no” can change our whole existence.

Every day, we try to pretend that we do not see
that moment, that it does not exist,
that today is the same as yesterday
and that tomorrow will be the same too.

However, anyone who pays close attention to
his day will discover the magic moment.

It might be hidden in the instant
that we put the key in the door in the morning,
in the moment of silence after supper,
in the thousand and one things
that appear to us to be the same.

This moment exists, a moment in which
all the strength of the stars flows through us
and allows us to perform miracles.
