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.

Image
A warrior knows that the farthest-flung star in the Universe reveals itself in the things around him.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can go back, but everyone can go forward. And tommorow, when the Sun rises, all you will have to say to yourself is: I am going to think of this day as the first day of my life.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can posses an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on the rocks. No one can posses the beautiful things of this Earth, but we can know them and love them. It is through such moments that God reveals himself to mankind.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Fortunate are those who take the first step. Someday people will realize that men and women are capable of speaking the language of the angels - that all of us are possessed of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that we can perform miracles, cure, prophesy, and understand.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Using your car as a weapon and impenetrable armor.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There are moments when people are incapable of understanding happiness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
An angel and a devil are always beside us, and the one we listen to more will prevail. This confrontation is what makes life so magical because you are always challenged by the circumstances - we are good and evil depending on how we act
Paulo Coelho
Image
Believing that your parents are always right.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I could have.What does this phrase mean? At any given moment in our lives, there are certain things that could have heppened but, didn't. The magic moments go unrecognized, and then suddenly, the hand of destiny changes everything.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It’s not always enough to be forgiven by someone, in most cases we have to forgive ourselves first.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think that we are starting to get much more conscious about, you know, the importance of the spiritual path, and we are fulfilling it by paying attention to ourselves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Impossible is just an opinion.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We can see the Divine in each speck of dust, but that doesn't stop us from wiping it away with a wet sponge. The Divine doesn't disappear it's transformed into the clean surface.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we're interested in something, everything around us appears to refer to it (the mystics call these phenomena signs, the sceptics coincidence, and psychologists concentrated focus, although I've yet to find out what term historians should use).
Paulo Coelho
Image
To each of man's ages the Lord gives its own anxieties.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If we resist the temptation to allow other people to define who we are, then we will gradually be able to let the sun inside our own soul shine forth.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The wise are wise only because they love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I # forgive not because I became a saint, but because I'm tired of hating.
Paulo Coelho
