Love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current. For when those walls come down, then love takes over, and it no longer matters what is possible or impossible; it doesn't even matter whether we can keep the loved one at our side. To love is to lose control.

Paulo Coelho
The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.

Paulo Coelho
Love is the only thing that will save us, independent of any mistakes we may make. Love is always stronger.

Paulo Coelho
When we boldly seek love, love reveals itself to us, and we end up attracting more love. If one person loves us, everybody loves us.

Paulo Coelho
So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.

Paulo Coelho
I will never be yours, and you will never be mine; nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you, I love you, I love you.

Paulo Coelho
Our soul is governed by four invisible forces: love, death, power and time.

Paulo Coelho
Accumulating love brings luck, accumulating hatred brings calamity.

Paulo Coelho
In the first place, you shouldn't believe in promises. The world is full of them: the promises of riches, of eternal salvation, of infinite love. Some people think they can promise anything, others accept whatever seems to guarantee better days ahead, as, I suspect is your case. Those who make promises they don't keep end up powerless and frustrated, and exactly the fate awaits those who believe promises.

Paulo Coelho
There's nothing deeper than love. In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the princesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs.

Paulo Coelho
Love always triumphs over what we call death. That's why there's no need to grieve for our loved ones, because they continue to be loved and remain by our side.

Paulo Coelho
To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the spark of God.

Paulo Coelho
Reason lost the battle, and all I could do was surrender and accept I was in love.

Paulo Coelho
The energy that many people call love, is, in fact, the raw material from which the universe was built.

Paulo Coelho
Everything is allowed, except interrupting a manifestation of love.

Paulo Coelho
Love is an act of faith, not an exchange. Contradictions are what make love grow. Conflicts are what allow love to remain by our side.

Paulo Coelho
Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called 'the madness of saintliness'. They have been joyful - because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.

Paulo Coelho
Any one who loves must know how to lose themselves and find themselves again.

Paulo Coelho
Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or — such is the pleasure they experience — they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.

Paulo Coelho
Love lasts because it changes and not because it stays the same and never faces any challenges.

Paulo Coelho
You want to know if the heart of a man or a woman can contain enough love for more than one person? … I think it's perfectly possible as long as one of those people doesn't turn into … a Zahir.

Paulo Coelho
God is love, generosity and forgiveness; if we believe in this, we will never allow our weaknesses to paralyze us.

Paulo Coelho
My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing beauty of life once more. It's happened before, it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive—I'll find love again.

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. Don't give up. Remember, it's always the last key on the key ring that opens the door.

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

Paulo Coelho
Love simply is. That is the testament of Athena or Sherine or Hagia Sofia — love is. No definitions. Love and don't ask too many questions. Just love.

Paulo Coelho
Ever since time began, people have recognized their true Love by the light in their eyes.

Paulo Coelho
I love you like a river that creates the right conditions for trees and bushes and flowers to flourish along its banks. I love you like a river that gives water to the thirsty and takes people where they want to go.
I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows. I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source, which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. The spring returns, and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.

Paulo Coelho
Love is beyond time or rather love is both time and space but all focused on one single constantly evolving point-the Aleph.

Paulo Coelho
He who loves has conquered the world and has no fear of losing anything. True love is an act of surrender.
