Paulo Coelho Quotes

I don't live that life anymore, it's as simple as that.

When I left, after my divorce, when I left Oklahoma, I never looked back. It was the future. It was looking forward from then on.

I feel like I've started a new chapter in my life, and I need to leave the past behind.

There is always a time to move on.

Who can't relate to the idea of leaving one chapter behind and moving on to the next?

Even when I retired, there was part of me that didn't want to retire. But once you decide it's time to move on then you have to stick with it.

You shouldn't be fearful of starting over.

I tell people that life is like a book. Sometimes you've just got to turn the chapter. Even if you don't understand it, turn the chapter and move away from it. You don't know all the good things that are ahead of you yet.

I do not want to live more from the past. I have my present and a great future that is on the other side.

When faced by any loss, there’s no point in trying to recover what has been, it’s best to take advantage of the large space that opens up before us and fill it with something new.

*I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago... *So soon you will be in that part of the book where you are holding the bulk of the pages in your left hand, and only a thin wisp of the story in your right. *We get one story, you and I, and one story alone....It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.

Don’t hold on to the old when you're being led somewhere new. Come out of your comfort zone.

We have to discard the past / and, as one builds / floor by floor, window by window, / and the building rises, / so do we keep shedding - first, broken tiles, / then proud doors... and each new day / gleams / like an empty / plate.

Sometimes in life, you have to make things happen. That you can change your life if you're willing to let go of the old and actively look for the new. That even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

There just comes a time when it's so clear that moving on is the best decision.

I don't have any personal challenges about throwing away the past. If you're not changing, you're giving others a chance to catch up.

But there's a beginning in an end, you know? It's true that you can't reclaim what you had, but you can lock it up behind you. Start fresh.

You have to let go of who you were, to become who you will be.

We had more great times than bad times together, but they've moved on, I've moved on. I have a new team now and I have a new focus.

I hope to grow up and see myself accepting myself and accepting time going by and everything falls.

Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.

I just don't want to live like I used to. And at some point, I'm going to put a gag order on myself in terms of talking about the past. I've got to slam the door and deal with the present and the future.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

You can't really go back to where you came from. I don't think any of us can.

I can't live off of yesterday - that's in the past.
