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.

Rest a little,but as soon as you can, get up and carry on. Because ever since your goal found out that you were traveling toward it, it has been running to meet you.

Paulo Coelho

Why don't people's hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams? [...] Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Once a problem is solved, its simplicity is amazing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Go for the impossible. I always tried to find my own limits. So far I did not find them, so my universe is in constant expansion.
Paulo Coelho
