For a writer you have to be interested in different cultures, different backgrounds. You are not there to write only about your village. You're there to show a bit of your village, but also to understand other villages.

I believe that I am guided by chance encounters. I believe in the miracle of chance encounters.
Paulo Coelho

Charisma- the divine force that manifests itself in men and women. The supernatural power we don't need to show to anyone because everyone can see it, even usually insensitive people. But it only happens when we're naked, when we die to the world and are reborn to ourselves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Judging yourself to be full of virtue paralyses. Judging yourself to be full of guilt also paralyses.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
What makes life interesting are the challenges we face.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't give up. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't know if the books are making the world a much better place. I don't write with that objective. What I know is that I see my readers creating a critical mass so we can at least understand this world in a different way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
And she already has her treasure: it’s you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't try to be useful. Try to be yourself: that is enough & that makes all the difference.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A man is at his strongest when he is willing to accept his vulnerability
Paulo Coelho
Image
Join with those who sing, tell stories, talk pleasure in life, and have joy in their eyes, because joy is contagious, and can prevent others from becoming paralysed by depression, loneliness and difficulties.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He is now walking from his dream.
