I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.
Paulo Coelho

I don't regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears

Take these, said the old man, holding out a white stone and a black stone that had been embedded at the center of the breastplate. They are called Urim and Thummim. The black signifies 'yes,' and the white 'no.' When you are unable to read the omens, they will help you to do so. Always ask an objective question.

A warrior is always aware of what is worth fighting for. He does not go into combat over things that do not concern him, and he never wastes his time over provocations.
Paulo Coelho

No one owns anything. Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realize that nothing really belongs to them. And if nothing belongs to me, then there's no point wasting my time looking after things that aren't mine.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A Warrior knows that everything a person does has enduring consequences.
Paulo Coelho

Life moves very fast. It rushes us from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one is alone during tribulations - there's always someone else thinking, rejoicing or suffering in the same way. This thought gives us strength to face the challenge that lies in front of us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't care whether it was once sacred or not, I HATE WHAT I DO. It's destroying my soul, making me lose touch with myself, teaching me that pain is a reward, that money buys everything and justifies everything.
Paulo Coelho
Image
To dream is not enough, you have to fulfill your dream.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You are your own best friend. Never ever, put yourself down.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I # forgive not because I became a saint, but because I'm tired of hating.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But when he thought to complain about the burden of its weight, he remembered that, because he had the jacket, he had withstood the cold of the dawn. We have to be prepared for change, he thought, and he was grateful for the jacket's weight and warmth. The jacket had a purpose, and so did the boy.
