Paulo Coelho Sadness Quotations

The Lord often has his prophets climb mountains to converse with Him. I always wondered why He did that, and now I know the answer: when we are on high, we can see everything else as small. Our glory and sadness lose their importance. Whatever we conquered or lost remains there below. From the heights of the mountain, you see how large the world is, and how wide its horizons.

Of course. My sadness has become a routine that no one notices anymore.

Anyone who has known happiness will never again be able humbly to accept sadness.

We all harbour a great sadness in our soul

Sadness does not last forever when we walk in the direction of that which we always desired.

That is why I write - to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.

Love cannot exist in peace, it will always come accompanied by agonies, ecstasies, intense joys and profound sadnesses.

When we are high up, everything looks very small. Our glories and our sadnesses cease to be important. We have left whatever we won or lost down below. From the top of a mountain you can see how large the world is and how wide the horizon.

Words are tears that have been written down. Tears are words that need to be shed. Without them, joy loses all its brilliance and sadness has no end.
